Catholic Bloggers and Cats. It Just is... OK?

Several Catholic bloggers have just spontaneously combusted, or imploded, or something equally as bonkers.

A Catholic cat.

My goodness!

Thanks to St Peter's List on Facebook for this gem.

Atheists at Christmas

If you visit Catholic Memes you can create your own.

This is one I did earlier.

I sent My Jewish Son To Israel and...

They have the funniest memes (cartoons, captioned pictures etc.) that promote Catholicism. Furthermore, many of them are deliciously Biblical for any Protestant friends, pretty Traditional and funny.

Humorous Trad Catholic Pictures

I came across this and it tickled me pink.

Hope you enjoy it too.

Cheesy Happy Clappy and Word-Change Hymns

La la la I can't hear you la la la

What a wonderful week for Catholicism. 22 new Cardinals if the caption in the Sunday Telegraph was right. 22 new Princes of the Church. Let us pray and hope that they defend the Faith and evangelise for Catholicism in all their lands.

I don't know the "politics" of the appointments, but we can only hope with Pope Benedict that we have more Cardinals now that will be mindful of Catholic traditions and also stand up to the aggressive secularism of the atheists.

Now we have discussed the 'top' of the Church militant, let's have some fun with its lower echelons. That's us.

It's a no from me.

In the car this morning we were joking about the happy-clappy hymns out there. You know the kind: "You are the pop and I am the cup" with the repetitive chorus: "Give us curly straws of love."

Then I got to thinking. We all remember the word-change hymns and carols of school days such as "When shepherds washed their socks by night..." and I sang, in light of the many old bangers I've owned which often reached journey's end by stint of storming heaven with prayers: "Give me oil in my car, keep it running, give me oil in my car I pray."

So please let me know what are your favourite made-up happy clappy or word-change hymns. The cheesier the better. And (new) Cardinals can join in too!

A Scottish Sermon

“A’ve kent o’ better folk than you, efter they were deed, in the place where the wurm dieth not and the fire is not quenched, callin’ out tae the Lord in their agony: ‘O Lord, A niver kent it wud be as bad as this’.

“And the Lord — out of His love and tender mercy — vouchsafed the answer:

“‘Weel, ye ken noo!’.”

What is St Wenceslas's Favourite Food?

Equestrian State of St Wenceslas

After my comment on my last post (responding to a comment), comprising of a terribly awful Catholic joke, it reminded me of another which, although a day late (the Feast of St Stephan being yesterday), is worth the telling.

Who knows, we may between us get enough cheesy, corny Catholic jokes to bring out our own range of Catholic crackers next year.

Think of the possibilities - crowns of Catholic monarchs (bags me the Crown of Charlemagne!), a Catholic treat (bags me a St Dominic medal) and a cheesy Catholic joke, so here's my effort:

Q: What is King St Wenceslas's favourite food?
A: Pizza. Deep pan, crisp and even!
