Marty is a wind up doll for the far Left. Back in the day when Boston's Know Nothings were accusing nuns and priests of co-habitating and went on to burn down convents---there was a Bishop in place who took his responsibilies seriously. The bishop at the time confronted the anti-Catholics. He didn't have a multi-million dollar PR staff to hide behind.breathnachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308036185276331387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-89694175260349896602014-03-04T14:07:18.619-05:002014-03-04T14:07:18.619-05:00Well we can all be thankful that

The hijacking of our day by the blaggards and drunks has always been offensive.<br /><br />Perhaps what we should do is be led by a Eucharistic procession and scatter Catholic apostolates that serve throughout the parade. The nuns who serve, folks at Marion Manor, etc.<br /><br />It is ours and we should take it back.<br /><br />n.b. - a friend just sent this about New York:<br /><br /><br />"It's interesting how they are handling this in New York City:<br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/03/nyc-bill-de-blasio-attends-gay-friendly-st-patrick-day-parade/?intcmp=latestnews<br /><br />Evidently they have now two parades - the traditional St. Patrick's parade to honor a Saint of the Catholic Church and Irish heritage, and then another parade called "St. Patrick for All" parade which all the malcontents can march in. I guess it would be sort of similar to the atheists erecting a Festivus Tree right next to a creche in the center of town."<br /><br />The use of our Catholic saint's name for a protest parade against our Church is insidious, but the principle of letting malcontents, protesters and bigots have their own celebration works for me.<br /><br />The Mayor is using Catholics as a punching bag. As I have mentioned before, he wouldn't dream of telling Muslims he is going to use his political influence to insist gay pride be a part of Ramadan celebrations.<br /><br />It's as slimy as one can get.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-52213660370638784862014-03-04T12:27:48.902-05:002014-03-04T12:27:48.902-05:00MassEquality and Mayor Marty should just go away o...MassEquality and Mayor Marty should just go away on this. <br /><br />However, for parade organizers, I do think there is a legacy that is reaping some things that were sown in the distant past.<br /><br />The St Patrick's Day parade has not not in memory been much of a religious celebration. It's been civic celebration of an ethnic group and neighborhood, using a religious patron as a pretext. And there was longtime opportunistic appropriation of Evacuation Day to further blur the legacy. The fact that veterans have been sponsors rather than, say, the Holy Name Societies and Sodalities of parishes, is indicative of the essentially civic substance of the celebration. <br /><br />What I'd suggest is: how to Boston Catholics bring back the Catholic to a St Patrick's Day celebration? I mean, even some of the North End festas have more Catholic sensibilities than the St Patrick's Day parade in South Boston. (I suspect the answer is: the Irish are historically bad - compared to Catholics in Italy, Austria, southern Germany, and Poland-Lithuania - at demonstrative religiosity other than saccharine ballads at devotional gatherings. I write this as the loving grandson of an emigrant from County Leitrim, mind you.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
