GraceUk Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I could probably change it if I put my mind to it. But I'm not great on computer stuff. I just had a thought. Why don't we all next week after the new Pope is elected have him for a few days as our Avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Okay....so does that mean we need to become aware of other topic groups i.e.-Open Mic etc. outside of VS?? I mean...if I was...I would be! What's the point of taking over and changing the profile pics aspect of VS?? if everyone is following the rules and regulations...then why try and elicit responses from members?? It started as a joke, ALOT of people voluntarily changed their Avatars to FransicanHearts' it was fun and confusing, just some pun...dUSt was either annoyed so he "fixed" the problem, or more likely was having some phun back...

Lil Red Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have never complained or offered an opinion when dUST or an admin messes with the words and such for jokes but this I MUST complain about! If the avatars was changed to something benign and harmless, I wouldn't be writing this post! Changing all our avatars to dopey Kiefer Sutherland! For the lesser complaints about him, I don't think he is such a great actor, I have never and don't watch his TV shows (24 or Touch, etc) nor his movies unless he had a smaller part in one. The biggest reason for my complaint is this is a Catholic site so why HE is chosen as an avatar I have no idea! He is a self-proclaimed Socialist as was his family in Canada. He supported Obama in 2008 and then again in 2012. I have read and seen articles on him in the past and because of this avatar nonsense, I found this disturbing video and article on him: http://lonelyconservative.com/2011/04/keifer-sutherland-the-socialist/ and https://soundcloud.com/tobyknapp/kiefer-sutherland-endorses Whoever, if you MUST play with our avatars - though you really shouldn't as people pick their avatars based on their favorite saint, spirituality, order they hope to enter, etc. - can you not pick one like: 1. The Saint of the Day/Week/Month 2. Religious order Shields/Coat of Arms 3. Cartoon characters even! (but not obnoxious ones like Family Guy, etc.) - I personally am a fan of Bugs Bunny! 4. If you must pick a Hollywood celebrity, how about Jim Caviezel, etc. 5. But best yet...... how about you NOT go around changing everyone's avatars to someone so liberal and who, like myself, don't like him and find him offensive! wah wah wah.

Lil Red Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The longer you complain, the more dUSt seems to enjoy it. I would just be quiet, ride it out and move on. i love you, hsmom. :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mine wore purple today. I don't think our priests have pink vestments. :hehe2: You are thinking about rose, not pink. ;) Apparently my priest just ordered a full set of every colour of vestment from Gamarelli's in Rome. We have been without a rose set since our last priest left for the Southern Cross district. I missed it during Advent- it is always nice to see a good set of rose vestments.

I've never seen any kind of "pink" or "rose" colored vestments worn by my priests. I love their vestments, especially my pastor's. His vestments usually have gold thread running through it. Our former pastor had rather ugly vestments so it was a nice change when the new pastor came in. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikita92 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok...so at evening mass..the priest wore a really beautiful dust rose color with a beautiful pattern on it! My priest from my (usual)church always wears the same green or purple vestment that looks to be really really old. (he is 41 yr) With all the beautiful ones out there..it's a shame not to have a quality one.(specially the ones made by religious communities) I wish I could start a charity drive, so we could get him one.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
