In a satirical piece, Acts of the Apostasy blogger writes about the Supernatural Bowl and I find myself definitely on the side of the Saints - not the Mules!
My exact thoughts on altar servers and footwear can be found here written by CheekyPinkGirl who considers herself an opinionated Catholic. - Go girl! Babbo Bear actually said something to our parish priest about an older altar server who was in soccer shoes (and pulling her feet in and out of said 'shoes') and chewing gum while serving on the altar!
I, too, have a problem with altar girlz since the Catholic Church is NOT a democracy and - news flash, folks - males and females are different whether you want to admit it or not. This is not 'It's about me, it's about my rights, it's about equality - and those who disagree with me are either malicious or bad (or probably both...)' - it is not about us as individuals, it is about service to God. Many would-be priests are being brushed aside under the pretense of 'equality.' Sorry if this offends, but so be it. I am a modern, logical, reasonable, 100% feminine child of God- not a feminist (and I thank Him every day for that!).
And why, oh why, am I hearing more and more about crappy confessions instead of wonderful, soul-cleansing ones? Why have I had to look elsewhere (outside my own parish) to find a good confessor? Char is right about this one - it is NOT a drive-through and each of us is the 'greatest of sinners' (to paraphrase a prayer in the Byzantine Rite) and we need good confessions to be the RULE, not the exception!
