I saw a video clip on the news last night, with the breakdancers doing their thang in front of our Holy Father.

It was wonderful to see.

Yo, yo, yo... JPII is one hip bro!

I love the 80's! I cannot believe breakdancing is becoming popular again. Maybe it'll cut down on drive-by shootings and return to "Dance Challenges."

I love this quote from the pope:

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

 

[Dominus Fidelis]

I saw the DVD "Beat Street" the other day...I have to get it! I used to love that movie in 5th grade!

Breakdancing on a piece of cardboard on the street corner...ahhh the memories.

I can just hear the music from the Vatican...

"I love it when you call me Big Papa, throw ya hands in da air, like you a true playa!"

(Apologies to Biggie)

St. Michael to Satan: "I'll tell you once more, before you get off the floor, don't bring me down...."




Oh, wait, that was '70's, wasn't it?

(Wols slinks away, realizing that once again, he has betrayed his hoary and ancient venerability)

I'll get you liking Catholic Hip-Hop sooner or later! No matter how venerable you may be! After all, the Pope approves now!!

I like "The Gates of Hell" by MC Just...

 

[Dominus Fidelis]

For 2000 years/ the gates of hell have not prevailed/ the devil tried: Crusades/ Schisms and Reformations/too much knowledge and wisdom/Godly relations/ too much love, unity and God’s blessings/ too much strength for scrupulous men with bad intentions/ too much truth/we held for over 20 centuries/ unchanging/contained is the saving grace/most amazing/ the church has the keys in the new house of David were the one’s who feed the hungry and clothe the naked/ were the one’s who bring together/the separated/bring them to the body of Christ to be sacred/ bring them to the church in the world /that’s most hated/the way it always was/and the way it always will be/but they’ll be making more saints when they start the killing// how long do you think we’ve been going through this/ how long do you think we done loved the villains/ we understand were hated/ cause were God’s children/but we come with open arms by the millions/ the devil tried to shift us like wheat/ but I’ll tell you that our faith increased/carrying the cross everyday of the week/365 days of the year/As you can see/ were still here/the truth shines crystal clear/ never will it disappear

Built upon Solid Kephas/Unbreakable foundation/with Christ’s presence/constantly in circulation/Within the most Blessed/ sacrament/Body and Blood/most miraculous/understand the love/how you think we carried it on?/every mass singing the psalms/giving honor to our blessed mother/Our father, give us this day our daily bread/you promised you’d be with us until our death bed/and yes we do believe it/your Church worldwide as you said/ never ceasing/each of us is individually pieces of the Mystical Body of Jesus/participating in the ancient mass/why is it that/ the wafer makes these haters laugh/the wafer that contains the only path/the Eucharist it is the bread of life/the most precious body of Christ/that gives us life/the main appetizer and the churches sacrifice/on going/ for ever lasting now we know the prophecies came to pass/scripture was right and we have it/ From Christ’s 12 apostles/to the Pope and the Vatican/the truth flows everlasting/Flourishing Across the atlas/Roman Catholic/Shining light through the dark of sadness/with the sign of cross/aiming at Satan’s madness
