are you some kind of willow brandishing pagan?

 

[classic seanc]

It's wierd how in school everyone had to get it done, and everyone in the town got it so it seemed totally normal.

But when I see it now in Dublin it freaks me out. Its so wiiiiiieeerd

 

[siobhan]

are you some kind of willow brandishing pagan?

er no.


but if i had to choose i would be.

but i think i'd weild my willow rather than brandish it.
i'd be leaning over to catholicism if i were to brandish.

 

[therealjohnny]

see the soldier priest, complete with two unifroms, the army one over the priest one, with the ash cross on his forehead on TV3 this morning?

too much visual stimuli

 

[theoootini]

meh. i fink it's strange looking as well. does this mean it's ok to say bindis are wierd too?
or is that raaaaaacist?

 

[therealjohnny]

If I was to say that Christians who wear the ash cross are no different than this gentleman people would think Im trying to be funny

 

[theoootini]

Brazil is always the place to be.

What sort of a Brazil/carnival photo piece has no big shaking asses in it? Standards Guardian? Ever heard of them???

Jesus.

didnt you have some drama before trying to stand up for your right to disbelieve? i forget now...

one time when i was a lad in hospital some nurse woke me at about 5:30am to tell me the priest was coming around and did i want holy communion. says i to the nurse "i do not" and went back to sleep only to have her wake me up and ask me again a few minutes later so i said no again. then she woke me up a third time except the priest was with her this time - i think she was afraid to tell him somebody didnt want communion.

we used be made go for ashes and to confessions too but confessions were fun

 

[MDR]

Ash wednesday provides good visual straw poll of the number of practicing catholics still left in ireland. I counted 9.

I wonder if that homeless guy - the one who goes around with shit smeared on his forehead - bothered with the ashes this year.

Before I found out about Thumped, confession was where I talked about my impure thoughts.

drumcondra is full of them today. one of my colleagues went down to the church at lunchtime in saint patricks college and said there was a queue of people out the door and down the corridor.
