Best Dressed Man of 2013


The new evangelism of discrediting Catholic teaching and insulting those who love, teach and live by it to win the admiration and praise of the worldly is hitting paydirt for the Pope.

It turns out that wearing shoes with holes in them is in vogue in the circles of the hoi polloi.

If only the 2000 years of Popes and martyrs practiced the humility of doing and saying things to win praise.

I wonder how many honorable titles he will put under his belt before he stops withholding and undermining Church teaching.

I wonder too if Christ could have changed His fate had he only ridiculed John the Baptist as a judgmental sourpuss with an obsession for small minded rules.

A belated "Happy Christmas and joyful New Year"!

Very fine post, and I particularly loved your remark, "I wonder too if Christ could have changed His fate had He only ridiculed John the Baptist as a judgmental sourpuss with an obsession for small minded rules.""

Brilliant!
