This is the spiritual journey of me, Eccles, my big brother Bosco, and my Grate-Anti Moly. Eccles is saved, but we've got real problems with Bosco and Anti.

Dead people awareness month
Are you tired of Black Non-binary History Month? Do you yawn when reminded that it's Transgender Lives Support Week? Can you really bear the excitement of LGBTSJQED James Martin Coming Out Day?
Well, that's too bad, as the Catholic Church, at least, has designated November as Dead People Awareness Month.
It's also
known as People Without Lives Matter, and Gone to Meet Their Maker History Month (although of course it's true that most of history was made
by people who are now pushing up the daisies).
People are sick of stripy flags, so we went for this very tasteful one.
We are looking forward to a lot of Dead People Awareness in November, although we are not expecting many
dead people to celebrate in person. To kick off, November 1st is Saved Person History Day, and November 2nd is All The Other Dead People Day.
After that it goes a bit downhill, but we end the month on a high note with St Andrew, the Scottish disciple, who also happens
to be dead.
November 30th is also Saved Fishermen Awareness Day.
Of course all events will be overshadowed by the Synod - you may have realised that October was Synodal
Bores Gobbledegook Month, in which all synodal participants were
asked to conceal their inmost thoughts by cloaking them in buzzwords.
Sr Maria Grazia Angelini has shown that women can do this just as well as men (so why can't they be ordained?)
with her classic "I pray that this synod receives the art of new narrations, the radical humility of knowing the likeness of the Reign of God in the most varied and human dynamisms."
However, Cardinal Joe "Nighty-night" Tobin is also doing well, with his
"Synodality is a constitutive dimension of the Church since its origin that is still being realized today. Indeed, it expresses a radical call to conversion, change, prayer and action for all."
Meanwhile, other synodal "experts" continue to exchange gobbledegook.

I aspire to one day be as dead as all the dead people I admire and I encourage everyone to keep their eventual death in the forefront of their mind. In order to raise awareness of death and dead people, I intend to have engraved on my headstone the inspiring words "Memento Mori M*****f******.
ReplyDeleteDear Eccles.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are taking this Synod seriously.
If the Sin-odd comes to nothing, we'll all be dead happy!
