Seeing as I have been promised a grant from the federal government to start a community action program as part of the "Fresh-Air" inititative, I was hoping to see if we could reformulate a more progressive church community.</div><br /><div>As such, I would like to set aside a portion of the grant to pay for a new Spiritual Director. If you are interested or know someone who is interested, please don't hesitate to call me.</div><br /><div>Here are a list of some of the requirements:</div><div></div><br /><div>1. Must be able to secure funding from Government Organizations such as HUD, NEA, DOE</div><div>2. Must be able and willing to dialog with other community activists and leaders</div><div>3. Must be able to work with and earn respect of other community activists and leaders</div><div>4.

I'm in Therapy!Hey Everybody!<br /><br /><br />Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while. Basically I've been in jail. Anyway, jail is a lot cooler than I thought because they have a lot of classes I can take and stuff. Like I am taking interior design which is going to help me really focus on doing stuff for whatever church I am going to join when I get out.<br /><br /><br />Also you would not believe how many Barack Obama supporters there are in jail. I mean, practically everybody except the people who were for Ralph Nader. My mom was for Ralph Nader but I said to her that Obama is ten times better than Ralph Nader because Obama knows all about Liberation Theology which I am really big on.<br /><br /><br />Anyway I was going to say that another really cool thing about jail is I get free therapy. I have this doctor named Frank Peckscott. I am supposed to call him Frank. Anyway, he said I was suffering from guilt. He said that guilt is caused by my parents yelling at me when I was a kid. He said that when parents yell at kids they get low self-esteem and so what I have is low self-esteem and so I should work on feeling better about myself.<br /><br />Frank told me that if I feel people have been hurt me or something what I need to do is get IN THEIR FACE and tell them that they BETTER APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW! So. I haven't seen Father Tim for a while but if I do, I am going to get in his FACE right away. Also the person I really think should apologize right away is TODD TURK. And also I think H. Robert Williams owes me big time. <br /><br /><br /><br />Now that Barack Obama is president (YES!) I am really thinking my self-esteem is going to be a lot better.Che' Lovellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17675979686636674690noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-35123150612678685982008-08-31T07:29:00.003-05:002008-08-31T07:33:21.370-05:00SOV2 Rises Again<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMqHX3Rusqvoby0IdLFhTzPWCZ_RTClDTx2YbGq6NOQ8kxfMqGHTHwXqyuHj1-bHS4RzIbZgusJGTGXcuEhSpDub7EuMCTLQ42pJBx_vSzA5rYfTxR9jO8xiAq_Wy4ztQ2THIrOcG8L9o/s1600-h/Exterior+from+drive.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMqHX3Rusqvoby0IdLFhTzPWCZ_RTClDTx2YbGq6NOQ8kxfMqGHTHwXqyuHj1-bHS4RzIbZgusJGTGXcuEhSpDub7EuMCTLQ42pJBx_vSzA5rYfTxR9jO8xiAq_Wy4ztQ2THIrOcG8L9o/s400/Exterior+from+drive.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240658482243818002" /></a><br />Hello...

Once the bonfire was lit, massive fighting erupted from the Palestinians in the parking lot. They managed to cause the fire to spread--igniting the aspen trees that were meant to become priests, which in turn ignited the SOV2 building. Che had already started the countdown on the rocket, but the fire caused it to malfunction and detonate early, and the explosion from that caused the liquid hydrogen to erupt. Dr. Fakkir's ammo supplies and Keith's drugs were just fuel for the fire. So SOV2 is no more.<br /><br />Miraculously, some of the parishoners were unharmed by the explosion--here is what happened to them:<br /><br />Che Lovell--with the help of PeeVee, I was able to remove the beret (now I know why our tech calls are sent to Pakistan). I convinced the judge that without the beret Che was harmless. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail and 5 years of community service.<br />With the help of PeeVee/H Robert, I was able to upload a virus into the Vista OS which caused it to crash and wipe out the Vista version of H Robert and the files on HRI<br />Fr. Tim--was going to be arrested for various crimes, but he had some useful information, which he used to stay out of jail and be placed in protective custody... I cannot divulge his location now.<br />Dr. al-Fakkir--most of the Palestinians were killed in the explosion, Dr. Fakkir and the remaining troops were taken by Homeland Security and sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba<br />Keith--was arrested for illegal drugs. He will be serving time as Che's cellmate.<br />H Robert/PeeVee--took a post at one of the leading Universities in India. The two personalities are still clashing--should make for some interesting lectures.<br />Curt Kane--and the Brothers of Love were all arrested. He will be serving time on federal charges.<br />INS rounded up the migrants in the parking lot, and they are being sent back to their countries of origin.<br />The Sybs--were found to be no threat, although Syb Bob will serve some time on drug charges<br />The Native Americans in the parking lot decided that they had had enough and were moving back to their reservation<br />The Borgias from SSLI--were arrested for tax evasion. We were sure that there were other crimes committed, but nothing else would stick.<br />The Truly True Knights were arrested and disbanded--several gruesome murders were discovered.<br />The SSLI church was destroyed from an aftershock of the explosion at SOV2Agent Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917362455461651162noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-30138928405789958152008-03-20T20:26:00.002-05:002008-03-20T21:18:27.106-05:00Hello?Hello... some friends of mine who attend St. Albert the Great said that they saw a large flash of light and heard a loud noise near the Spirit of Vatican II church.

But I need to say this now:<br />You people are crazy--voting for Bishops, ordaining trees, allowing migrant workers and homicidal Palestinians to take over the parking lots, mind-control berets, rockets pointing down at the parish. When I begin with the arrests, I think that the people of Knoxville will feel a lot safer. I think that after the bonfire, it will finally be time to reveal the results of my wiretapping and investigations. I have enough information to arrest several key figures from the SOV2 parish now...

I'm the Bishop!Hey everybody! I've been up all night thinking about how cool it is that I'm the Bishop of Knoxville. So let's get started right away. With my new power as Bishop, I officially declare the following people to be saints:<br /><br />Rob Lowe: Patron Saint of Video Production<br />Phil Donohue: Patron Saint of People Who Ask Questions<br />Martin Sheen: Patron Saint of Ohio<br />Charles Curran: Patron Saint of People Who Answer Questions<br />Richard McBrien: Patron Saint of Condom Manufacturers<br />Andrew Sullivan: Patron Saint of Gay Nightclub Owners<br />Joseph O'Leary: Patron Saint of Circus Novelty Vendors<br />Stacy McCloud: Patron Saint of Knoxville<br />Dorothy Day: Patron Saint of the Appalachian Regions<br />Doris Day: Patron Saint of 1950's Movies<br />Albert Gore, Jr.: Patron Saint of Hot-Air Balloonists<br />Dr. Argot's cousin Ricky Argot: Patron Saint of Collection-Basket Weavers<br /><br />Also, I declare today to be "The Feast of the Election of Tim Plarvik", and anyone who comes to SOV2 or makes an internet donation will receive 14 carbon offsets.<br /><br />Now let's get out there and wash some feet!<br /><br />Peace out!Father Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00309200012740958543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-9411113728822753282008-03-19T20:54:00.002-05:002008-03-20T21:17:52.972-05:00VICTORY!HEY! WELL, THE LAST POLLS HAVE CLOSED AT THE MELLOW MUSHROOM CAFE, AND WITH 75% OF THE PRECINCTS REPORTING, WE HAVE A LANDSLIDE VICTORY IN THE CAMPAIGN TO MAKE ME THE NEW BISHOP OF KNOXVILLE.<br /><br />HEY! I'M THE BISHOP!<br /><br />Wow! I'm really overwhelmed by all of your support and all of the great stuff that you all did to help me become Bishop. Those yard signs, bumperstickers, and other things really must have done the trick. Plus, the opposition just wasn't able to get their demographic to respond. It really hurt the "official" candidates that up until the last minute, the diocese kept insisting that there wasn't an election underway.<br /><br />So now what? You've voted for change, and you've got it. My first order of business is to bring healing to the divisiveness that has characterized this election and all of the other Bishop stuff. I'm going to bring healing by bringing people together, ending exclusion.<br /><br />My first act as Bishop will be to cancel all of the Latin masses in Knoxville. You said "No!" to the Motu when you voted for Tim Plarvik. My second act as Bishop will be to preside over the ordination of thirty seven new womynpriests, plus one hundred and forty three aspen trees tomorrow at SOV2.<br /><br />I'm really excited about tomorrow's feast of the Vernal Equinox and Foot-Washing Ceremony. After the ordination, me and all of the new womynpriests are going to lead the foot-washing - this year everybody will be washing everybody else's feet - just the way that it happened at the Last Supper.<br /><br />I'm so excited that everyone will be here tomorrow. My good friend Fr. Curt Kane will be here, as well Dr. Al-Fakkir, Peevee Rajendajendan, Mother Maryann McGronk, Ché, Todd, Clyde, Ngyuen, Britnee, Syb Bob & Syb Madison - basically everybody but Fr. Juno and H. Robert. Don't forget to bring your epson salts for the foot washing.<br /><br />Have a super night, and PEACE OUT!Father Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00309200012740958543noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-89497784569230969612008-03-19T19:49:00.002-05:002008-12-12T18:43:46.817-05:00Peace Upon You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOI7qfyUKemjcwNeu5JV_77mJjuLrwyMqVBc2ItgZhbLYsqBKYqx2gGr_O1QqG11khRoX62h2kN3m4B2bitLIuqBQM977J1soOZUM57EJ6AwFrNquo-_kaY36W4YsYM9BReGOJu5Oko7sT/s1600-h/ThomasAlf2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOI7qfyUKemjcwNeu5JV_77mJjuLrwyMqVBc2ItgZhbLYsqBKYqx2gGr_O1QqG11khRoX62h2kN3m4B2bitLIuqBQM977J1soOZUM57EJ6AwFrNquo-_kaY36W4YsYM9BReGOJu5Oko7sT/s400/ThomasAlf2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179619737234990002" /></a> Hello. Peace be upon your houses. I congratulate you in the name of peace and supplication on your upcoming pagan festival which will bathe you in blood and wash clean the stink of semitic uproariousness. If the fleas of the dogs of your rotten capitalist zion empire are not found to be in the the building that you call a church, then I will be mistaken. Many of my cousins in the struggle will join me and reject the futile barbarism of your western ways of the pig. Peace be upon your house.Dr. Thomas Al-Fakkirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14410792083429865600noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-75492124662120109842008-03-19T19:43:00.002-05:002008-03-20T21:18:12.555-05:00Hello Once AgainGreetings to all of you at SOV2. It is I, Fr. Curt Kane, and I have returned. It is a pleasure to be here in Knoxville again, and I'm sure you will be most pleased to know that I and the Brothers of Love will be in attendance at tomorrow's celebration of the Equinox. In the name of Gaia, let us open ourselves up to sacrificial giving and make a love offering of our selves, our time, and mostly our treasure. The Brothers and I will be taking up a special collection for the poor of Appalachia tomorrow, so please bring your checkbooks and jewelry to SOV2.<br /><br />Also, while driving into Knoxville, we saw an itinerant vagrant person wandering on I-40 who looked vaguely familiar. When we stopped the caravan, we found that it was Todd Turk. Todd is now traveling with us and will be at SOV2 tomorrow as well.<br /><br />Until tomorrow, <br /><br />I remain,<br /><br />Fr.

TimSomeone from the INS came to me today and wanted to ask questions about the people in the parking lot. Apparently when they first heard about all of the migrants on the SOV2 grounds, they reported this to their superior, and they finally got through with all the opening paperwork for the case yesterday--now they are ready to move on the subjects in the parking lot. They want to talk to you tonight.<br /><br />Agent SmithAgent Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14917362455461651162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475938294841398902.post-24595637482613013542008-03-19T07:03:00.001-05:002008-03-19T07:05:22.506-05:00Public ServiceCurt Kane has been spotted in Knoxville!

I'm Stacy McCloud, and I'm very pleased to be able to be the host and moderator of this debate. I'd also like to thank the generous people of the Western Avenue Shoney's for hosting this debate. As a reminder, both of our candidates, Dym Tim Plarvik of Spirit of Vatican II, and Fr. Chad LeJanvier of the Society of St. Leo I, will have a chance to answer each question. There will be no interruptions permitted, and at Dym Plarvik's request, neither candidate is allowed to leave their podium. And now, without further ado, let's begin the debate. My first question goes to Dym Plarvik. Why do you want to be Bishop of Knoxville?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s1600-h/SmallPlarv.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s400/SmallPlarv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523041450156034" border="0" /></a>Hi Stacy. It's great to be here, and it's particularly nice to meet you. Thanks so much for agreeing to moderate this event. When I think about why I want to be Bishop, I can't help but think about when I was a little boy and I had my first puppy. He was a little Cocker Spaniel named "Chartwell." I think a diocese is a lot like a puppy, and just as I had to learn as a little boy how to raise a Cocker Spaniel, so I think that now that I'm grown up, I should get to be a bishop. Plus, I'd be a much better Bishop than our former Bishop or any of the other candidates.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s1600-h/LeJanvier.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s400/LeJanvier.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523483831787538" border="0" /></a>When I first started seminary, the changes brought about by Vatican II were taking full effect. High altars were ripped apart, Latin was banished, and Tabernacles were replaced by "prayer labyrinths". I knew the powers of darkness had taken hold in the Church and that I was called to turn back the tide, despite numerous vocation directors' protestations to the contrary. Once again, I have received this call. God Himself wills that I be Bishop.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a> If you were Bishop of Knoxville, what would you do to help the waterfront development project?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s1600-h/LeJanvier.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s400/LeJanvier.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523483831787538" border="0" /></a>We tend not to get involved on these so-called "social justice" issues.

I think it's wrong for a city not to develop its waterfront. Unless that development comes at the price of being environmentally unconscious. I mean, hey! We've all got to live on the same earth here. That's why I count myself as an Earthfriend. If I get to be Bishop, and someone came around saying "hey! let's develop the waterfront, but we're going to have to kill a bunch of tuna" then I would be solidly opposed to that. But if someone said "hey! let's have an ecologically friendly waterfront in the spirit of Rachel Carson" then I'd say "hey! cool!" and we'd be fine with that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a> If you were Bishop of Knoxville, would you wear the funny hat, or dress normally?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s1600-h/SmallPlarv.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s400/SmallPlarv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523041450156034" border="0" /></a>I would definitely wear the hat - not out of respect for some crazy tradition, but because it's a way of proclaiming to the world - hey!

You know, I already live in a super cool rectory, which came as a gift from Dr. & Mizz Argot, so it would be really a question of whether the Bishop's mansion was better or worse than the rectory I have now. I mean, if I was Bishop, I could pretty much choose whether or not to live in the SOV2 rectory or not. As for the cardboard box thing, I think it would be wrong to interfere with the vocational solidarity of those people who are already showing a preferential option for the poor by co-opting their pre-existing communion with the homeless.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a>What year was the Council of Trent concluded?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s1600-h/SmallPlarv.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s400/SmallPlarv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523041450156034" border="0" /></a>That's a weird question.

When people realize that it's all about mother nature, and Gaia and whatnot, then they don't need to have Mary anymore. Get it? Not that Mary isn't all right, but she was a little too obedient, at least in the "mainstream" gospel accounts. There are some really good historo-critical exegetes who show that Mary was really a countercultural freedom fighter, a sort of gorilla-warfare expert.

This heresy makes the Pope incapable of choosing an appropriate bishop for the Diocese of Knoxville. THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH! A Bishop must exist in order to continue the True Tradition of the Church unto the End of Time. This presents an extraordinary situation in which Bishops may be elected. Therefore it is the DUTY of all Truly Traditional Catholics to continue the Sacred Mission of the Church by electing moi, Fr.

Plarvik - public records show that your parish has experienced two riots, a meth-lab explosion, several people disappearing, seventy-two civil lawsuits, and is currently providing sanctuary to 1,560 illegal immigrants.

I mean, do you really think these rednecks around here would mess with me if I was bishop? No way. And those folks at TBI, FBI and whatever would have to just shut up, because I'd be calling the shots. So basically, yes and no, because alot of the things we do at SOV2 would get to be done over all of Knoxville, like sheltering undocumented migrant workers, and having a preferential option for the poor. Plus, when I'm Bishop, I'm going to shut down the Oak Ridge Nuclear Weapons plant once and for all.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a>Fr. Chad - your parish has proved to be a downtown eyesore and nuisance. You've been cited on numerous occasions for your constant processions blocking traffic, and the manure left behind by the horse-drawn carts left in front of your parish has cost the city considerable expense.

The great churches of Europe often took over a century to build, and the designs drafted for St. Leo the Great rival even those in splendour. Our processions are done for the Greater Glory of God, who transcends all traffic signals. The carriages are our rebellion against the machinations of modern society that threaten the family and the truths of faith with so-called "science." Long carriage rides promote family bonding and a sustainable environment. I would think you tree-worshipers would show some appreciation of that. As for our treatment of the Sodomites, we follow the Truly Traditional proscriptions as found in the Book of Leviticus and articulated brilliantly by that Man of God: Stephen Colbert. <br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a>If you got to be Bishop of Knoxville, and a little while later they wanted you to be a cardinal, would you accept?<br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s1600-h/SmallPlarv.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglBgLYPPVmddz5JGV8EGwTAL60hRBTk02gwxFEHIoCVS2FzHuX8DyAXoEhmQZzUgfo2fGiWIHjsRqEWllIMvKdomiA5nk11asJG2HIt4-vrJb-PsRmga6f48qwUgkBjH82-mzVeZIwF8/s400/SmallPlarv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523041450156034" border="0" /></a> If It means that I can give more of myself, then I'd have to say yes.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s1600-h/LeJanvier.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuglwr2FKt0NFJDbIXTpWMw09KkHLSjJuIY2AgP8_HUquYG8OFJyo18FXK7-6fncILmXvFZz5OXDNoRCfW8_PDOtmUCSo71QiACIlbLUTTri_jcdEZJ4z1iUuAV9_edHfihnTAvPvLWI/s400/LeJanvier.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178523483831787538" border="0" /></a> It would assuredly bring us one step closer to eventual reunification with Rome.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s1600-h/stacy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNVclEvMqu7_0lpoVs0Lxgw5tvShF54ZqPlZkya78Y84jOGk8LBeWTuQKb721iQXuHnGgxJ9RVHHKwycqZVitVM4N9Ohq5cE-ygvIhtwJNrA6qyVo-0rAAoXHpPQOVMAuR5hHqnUpQZM/s400/stacy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178522118032187378" border="0" /></a>I'd like to thank you both for being here tonight, and I wish you both a lot of luck in your campaigns to be Bishop.

It seems that the Borgias from the SSLI parish--some of you may remember them from the big picnic--are not who they say they are. My office has been charged with investigating them on many counts--though I cannot discuss what the charges are at this point. I apologize to Fr.

About six months ago, we put our names into the list to bid on the International Symposium on Nontraditional Instruments in Religious Service Settings. The organizers of this wonderful academic conference have chosen us over St. Joan's to host the event which kicks off on March 20th.<br /><br />The best part is the daily workshop/demonstration. The parishioners of SOV2 will be treated to a delight as they hear many familiar old favorite traditional hymns (Table of Plenty, Companions on a Journey, City of God, Imagine) and new songs of devotion ("Sing out Womyn!", "Shout a big joyful shout!") arranged for nontraditional instruments such as kazoo, didgeridoo as well as the toe-bells, steel drum, police sirens, clickers and garbage cans.<br /><br />We are also working on having a fullfledged "Mass of Joy" but I have not heard from Father Tim to see if we can arrange it with his busy schedule. As you know the "Mass of Joy" feature many clowns and balloons.<br /><br />H. Robert<br /><br />P.S.: Several dozen liquid hydrogen trucks arrived today. I'm not sure who ordered the liquid hydrogen; so if it was you, please call the parish office as we need to make space for the extra parking we will need for the various groups coming on March 20th.H.

Phil Donahue will be here at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SOV</span>2 to dedicate the new wing of the Gathering Space on March 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>. The John F. Kennedy Faith Formation Complex will be home to a special library of tapes and videos and books that will embrace the vibrant diversity that is the Spirit of Vatican 2. This is all possible thanks to a generous donation from the Ford Foundation (which Father Tim and I have been keeping under wraps).<br /><br />In layman's terms we were able to purchase a slightly used semi trailer and have backed this up to the emergency exit doors.<br /><br />In addition to serving as the new faith community library, the trailer also will be providing much needed space for the some of our recent additions of spiritual art and will prevent some of the problems we have been having with a few of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">parishioners</span> leaving our gatherings early. As I understand it, those doors were never intended to be used as a common egress, and in the future you will have to walk through the main doors directly behind the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">presider</span>. Hopefully the discomfort you will feel will be enough to encourage you to stay through the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">announcements</span> from now on.<br /><br />The new wing has already been decorated tastefully by the Social Justice committee which has persevered admirably without Che, and have fully accepted their new role as "Peace Mongers." Thanks so much <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">SJC</span> for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">coming</span> up with our new Gathering Hymn "Come <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Womyn</span> of Spirit, Come Men of Love." We are working with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">OCP</span> representatives to get special approval for this hymn.<br /><br />Also, I would like you to know that the old Parish Council has been officially disbanded. The fact is they have not been allowed to meet for some time anyway. I will be transitioning in a new parish council. Now I have noticed that these are basically popularity contests so I have decided that from now on we will just put <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">everyone's</span> name in a hat and draw them out randomly. This is in emulation of the way that the early christian faith communities did it and probably was one of the progressive ideas of Mary Magdalene, who as you know was the principle architect of the churches of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">equanimity</span>. In keeping with her inspiring spirit we will also be taking steps to guarantee proportional <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">representation</span> of all groups. Therefore, I will appoint several "at-large" members to give voice to some of the under-represented members of the community. I especially am reaching out to other religious traditions for the parish council (except baptists because they are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">intolerant</span>) so if you know someone who maybe has not attended a church for a while or is, perhaps, a Unitarian or a Reformed Episcopalian, please nominate them for an "at-large" spot.H.
