In post-Vatican II clerical vesture, note how the simple priest's biretta is not only much larger than an archbishop's (L) or cardinal's (R), but comes with a handy-dandy mechanical device for raising it off one's head.
The Cardinal was upset that the flowers matched the bishop's colors, but not his.
OK, I have 2 prelates here. Who gets the medium rare and who gets the rare?
Now, for the final round of America's Got Talent, each Cardinal will be asked to recreate the scene in which Mary Poppins' flies in.
Mused the Archbishop to himself: "The Cardinal doesn't know I paid his priest to poke holes in his umbrella."
"You may have the red, pal, but who has the kick-ass pom-pom?"
The Cardinal (r) considered the irony of the fact that he is now Wetter in both name and actuality!
His Excellency was proud to have been assigned a seminarian trained in the more reverand two-handed umbrella handling.
The Lord rains on the just and the unjust; the eminent and the excellent.
During recess at today's USCCB meeting, the bishops relax by playing musical chairs ad orientem with Gregorian chant.
d'oh, If I had quicker wits I would have said musical cathedrae.
The two rites of biretta-stealing: the two-handed, extraordinary form, and the one-handed, novus ordo.
"Oh well, at least they're letting us stay under the umbrellas this time."
The archbishop smirking, "Poor sap, I can remember those days!"
Reviving the long suppressed minor order of Bumpershootor.
Oooooh, St. Peter's Helpers for the win?
I vote for St Peters Helpers!
"Heh...if my umbrella was gold and scarlet, why, then I'd be a basilica!"
I can only make this joke because my school has a basilica and it took me forever to ask what an umbrella had to do with anything.
One flower to another... "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you...".
If I were "picking" (sorry) it would be Warren, hands down!
Bishops to the left of me,
Eskimo's to the bottom right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with you...
'Uh...Eminence....the sun is coming out...may I...uh...'
Wetter by name, dryer by nature.
...Eight years of seminary. Latin and Greek. Moral Theology and Systematic Theology. And I end up holding a umbrella!
I like Thomas' post! :)
searching for new Morton's Excorcism Salt logo... "when it rains, it rains Fire from Heaven!"
One of these bishops was washed with the leading detergent, the other one was washed using Colorsafe Tide. Can you tell the difference?
Weather must be changing, my choir dress is turning red!
Have to go with Warren, that is a hopelessly catchy tune.
Wetter: Someday you'll have a red hat, too!
Marx: Before I melt?
"I'm chanting in the rain, just chanting in the rain. What a glorious feeling ...."
Grammy for.. The best new duet by "The Prelates" -- Raindrops ain't falling on MY head!
WRC FTW!
