This Dad should get very little for Father’s Day this year. I’m not saying he should get nothing because he does eventually stop the stroller but…come on.
Update: It looks like MLB won’t let folks embed it. Don’t know why but it probably has something to do with lawyers. So here’s the link.

In the end, he can always point to this Dad and say at least he’s not as bad as him.

ThereseZ, I'm sorry, but I'm not at all understanding where you are coming from here. I was not objecting to Our Holy Father's shoes—in fact I love them. I was jokingly replying to Scott Eric Alt's question, "Who else wears red shoes?" I assure you I would be as honored as you to make red shoes for the Pope. I would even be honored to kneel before him and kiss his red shoes. 🙂

… And disingenuous.

With a great office comes great responsabilities. Being a deacon is not a right, it is a call and a privilege from God. He clearly misused his responsabilities and made disgusting statements. His response is just as disgusting; how can he think anyone will believe ''that''?

Sigh.

The world can see that Benedict is wonderful because he's being mocked.

DISGRACEFULL!!!

In typical NeoCatholic fashion, Howard fails to get the point.

The deacon thinks that we sucks our thumbs!!

Pat, Many of the comments here, and I am sure direct messages to DS have been hostile (I do think you put his contact information up). It has provided many an opportunity to show an interesting lack of charity.
And, you know the way to deal with things is in private first (Matt 18:15-20). So it is not just about putting an end to it me thinks (you don't want to really play the same game DS did about the shoes)?
You know that I agree with you on most of this, so I am not some crank calling it out. Just sayin'. it is Lent….

Did you notice about 20 seconds into this video he mentions "…Father so and so, myself, Father so and so, Jane Clare…and others who PREACH to you…"

Lazy or weak priest.
March 12, 2014 at 2:16 am
Yes. Apparently they allow the laity to preach at Mass.

In Redemptionis Sacramentum, xix "the homily which is
given in the course of the celebration of Holy Mass…should ordinarily be given by the Priest celebrant himself…He may entrust it to…but never to a lay person."

I do and one of my fellow parishioners calls them my pope shoes.
March 12, 2014 at 3:41 am
I didn't catch your irony, sorry.

This was no private matter to be discussed privately. This was a public homily in a mass and put on the internet for all to see.
All I did was highlight what he already publicly exposed. I put his contact info and that of the diocese because I want it to stop. There has to be a price to pay for these actions. Part of that price for a public humiliation of the Pope is an equally public rebuke.
I am not responsible for how people react to the video, he is. I just made known what he wanted known. Everything was already public info, all I did was put it together.

Mr. Sandy, the Papal Coat-of-Arms is clearly seen. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder both saw it, and told Helen Keller. She could not believed what she heard and saw it herself. So I ask the question: What is the maximum effective range of an excuse?
March 12, 2014 at 6:14 am
I'll admit to being slightly puzzled, really. I had to watch the pertinent part twice before I understood the problem. ..DId he REALLY suggest that Pope Benedict wore red shoes because he had self-esteem issues?? REALLY?!
March 12, 2014 at 11:28 am
Why don't you know, Deacon Sandy, that our Pope Emeritus wore the red shoes? Also, why is it wrong, as you searched for fine vestments, for us to spend, set aside, money for these vestments? These vestments, if made well, can last YEARS and end up being less than the horrible polyester blend. Why is it wrong to spend money on vestments, for our priests, but yet it is OK to buy fancy projector – which if you are a good orator you don't need – or if you have purchased missals/song books you don't need? The projector and lack of kneelers are very offensive in my book. – how you had to just find "something" to bring that point home – that being our pope. Really? The fact if my family visited and had to kneel on the hard floor, because it isn't an optional posture during Eucharistic prayer here in the US, is insulting. Unless there was good reason which you don't seem to have. Really?

Too bad I can only vote this "up" once.
