PhuturePriest Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Since it's my birthday in three days, I decided I wanted to go to the Renaissance Festival since I love it and I love dressing up. So I dressed up as a friar and a few friends went with me, and aside from it being frigidly cold it was a lot of fun and everything I hoped it would be. However, as I was walking along, two Italian wenches walked up to me. They asked for my name, and after a few minutes' banter, asked if I were a brother or a priest. When I answered a priest, they said "Padre Miles, hear our confessions!" After telling them a confession needs to be done individually, they said they would simply do it at the same time so they wouldn't be able to hear each other. They also decided to speak into cloths, I suppose to keep some remnant of traditional privacy in confession. After hearing their most riveting confessions, I gave them a penance of two Rosaries each, and they went on their merry way. A friend joked that this incurred automatic excommunication for simulation of a sacrament, but I told him it's valid during the Year of Mercy. Here are pictures of this most historic event. Ignore the agent of Satan in the background trying to keep these women from reconciliation with God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Lol. You look more like you were in a near occasion of sin. Heritage (Renaissance) day in Guildford last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Lol. You look more like you were in a near occasion of sin. Heritage (Renaissance) day in Guildford last month. Bwahahahaha. There was no nearing the occasion of sin, I assure you. Renaissance Festivals are the best. There was a bit of good sword fighting at the one today as well. Unfortunately they ended jousting last week, but it's always fun when they do sword fights, no matter how choreographed they are.

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I loved the pics. As for near occasion of sin, there may not have been any on your part, but you never know about the two women. Many "real" priests have this problem. Perhaps we should rename you "Friar Cougar Bait" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I would never call you "Padre Miles." I usually call priests by their last names out of respect, but that's just what I've always done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 going by the thread title I thought it meant it was the first time the OP went to Confession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 going by the thread title I thought it meant it was the first time the OP went to Confession If this was Miles' first confession that means he is only 7. He is very bright for a 7-year old. And, his friar outfit is a totally cool Halloween costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act as if I do not regularly wear Halloween costumes at my current age (which, coincidentally, will be increased by one at midnight tonight.) I would never call you "Padre Miles." I usually call priests by their last names out of respect, but that's just what I've always done... Weird. With me it depends on whether I know the priest well or not. Calling a priest by their first name for me is a sign of affection for that priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
