  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm glad you lot can't hear me speak, if you're going to make fun of the words I choose to type! I'd be the comedy-member of OBOB :D
When I worked in TX, people were always asking me to speak. :rolleyes:

And anyway, Woody does look lovely! He looks like he is trying to behave well, but is desperate to do a silly dance :)

You all are crazy...talkin' smack about my corn flakes!

And Tribe, puuuuuuulease...I need to get back down to where I was back in April -- around 230...where I was like 13% BF...

But thanks anyway for all the nice comments... :)

Just out of interest, is there any reason in particular why the priest is wearing those vestments...they look strange. I haven't seen a priest wear anything like that before at a mass.
There are a variety of vestments that priests will often wear according to the Liturgical season and other important circumstances -- say, for marriages, or in this instance, confirmation.

That vestment he's wearing is one of the vestments he wears during special occasions.

I think he also wore it during Midnight Mass at Christmas, if my memory serves.

I know Fr. Ray tends to wear a variety of vestments...

I was at daily Mass Friday, and Monsignor Adams was wearing a solid red vestment. And I think red is actually required to be worn during Penecost and Good Friday if I remember correctly, and then, of course, white during Easter...

yes, I was aware of the green vestments for the ordinary time but these ones look a bit like rags, not green enough I don't think. Also where is that horseshoe shaped thing which goes around the neck?
The collar, or "horeshoe shaped thing", is there. Just can't see it.

Edit Note: In the last picture, take a close look -- you can see the white collar...
