Ora et Labora Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 did you see all the other recordings of the masses? watch the one where a priest dresses up in a barney costume and blesses the people with the barney song............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 What is the point of posting stuff like this? Is it just so we watch it and feel superior to this priest and this congregation because we would [i]never[/i] do this? I am just wondering how this -- and the plethora of similar videos that have been posted recently -- is at all beneficial for us to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 However, if this is happening in your parish and you don't know any better, hearing someone SAY its offensive or contrary to church law MIGHT wake you up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If I want to see my neighbor stop messing with the pool boy, I go talk to her and tell her it's wrong. I shouldn't go to the whole neighborhood and talk about how shocked I am by her untoward behavior. I go to the source so as to effect real change. Look, gossip is something I struggle with a lot, and because I struggle with it I know all the justifications for it, even though it's much easier to recognize in someone else than in yourself. "Please pray for this situation" or "I need advice here" can all to often be covers for what is underneath an ugly thing, which in the end does not promote healing and wholeness but instead tears people down.
