The Walk-in Freezer at Reilly's Pub

Add Defender of the Faith 777 to the list.

What is it? Twit Appreciation Week or something?

/me resumes his slumber.

ITA Neil! DH and I can't wait either! Dh's Great Aunt Janie knows a lot about Mel, and she just loves him to bits - thinks he's awesome for having so many kids, being true to the faith, and being married so long. Of course, it doesn't matter to her that he's a "hot young stud" (her words, not mine).

/me slinks in and starts tearing at the cartons the hashbrowns came in with her teeth...

It really fries my chicken when Catholics get lumped with Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons...


PEACE!!!!!
~VOW

 

[VOW]

/me makes an igloo out of the new cartons of hashbrowns that have arrived, crawls inside and tries to CHILL CHILLL CHILLLLLLLLLLLLL


~VOW

 

[Nilhil Obstat]

Wow..so this is where the frustrated Catholics hang out.

It seems like its the former Catholics that are the tougher customers than someone who just doesn't know better, eh?

Hang in there VOW..you're doing a good job.

 

[VOW]

/me peeks out of the carton igloo and hands Nihil a frozen hashbrown patty

Here. I chew on these to cope. The flames from my mouth toast them so by the time they hit my stomach, they are cooked to perfection.

The beer keg in the corner is KC's. I can get you one, if you like, and just put a straw in it.


Peace,
~VOW

 

[Nilhil Obstat]

/me chuckles as I watch flames shoot from the sides of VOW's mouth.

I'll take a straw and a hashbrown - just lightly toast it for me please!

 

[VOW]

To Nihil:

Naw, you can get COOKED food in the Pub. There's fellowship, music, beer on tap, nice atmosphere, good company....

The freezer is just for us downtrodden, gives us a place to chill and become civilized again.


Peace,
~VOW

Avila thinks that mel would be too tired to take bruce, since he has 8 or 9 kids to chase after - after all, he is a very orthodox roman catholic!

Avila also thinks that edpobre is a big whiner

/me thinks that perhaps edpobre's all caps is directly proportional to his touched nerves

I think the Catholic mods are doing a great job. I'm amazed at the amount of patience you show towards some of the hatemongers posting there.
Am I allowed to call them hatemongers?
Okay, I'll change it to "spiteful and confused people with too much time on their hands."

 

[Wolseley]

Settle down, VOW. Unca Wols has locked the thread and sent the main offender a warning.

Remember Our Lord's words: "If the world hates you, it hated Me beforehand."

I'll be off now for a while---the Wee One is napping, and I have some Rosary-ing to catch up on.

Peace and prayers,
---Wols.

As long as you don't add me to your list. 

And if you have to...at least tell me why so I can fix whatever I say to make you want to add my name to the list. 

 

[VOW]

To Angel:

Oh, you're on "the list" all right...

However, it's not the SAME list as the individuals named above.


Yer one of the "good guys" Hon!


Peace and thankfulness,

/me walks into the pub

Hello all - it has been quite some time since I posted. I have been very busy with work and family.

I wanted to take a moment to thank KC and isshinwhat for honoring my request for anonymity. If you did not figure it out, well here it goes --

/me was formally known as Polycarp

I also wanted to let you know that Avila and I are officially back home in the Roman Catholic Church. We have been for some time now, but I felt it was necessary to distance myself from the mess that Polycarp and Fr. Rob had made.

I informed KC of my intentions, and asked for his advice in the matter - and I want to thank him for being understanding.

isshinwhat figured it out on his own and asked me in a private message. I let him in on my intentions, and asked for his prayers of support.

I have some sad news concerning Fr. Rob. When I revealed my intentions to the Bishop of the PEC and the subsequently to Fr. Rob the relationship went sour very quickly.

Fr. Rob is now separated from the PEC. I ask you to pray for him during this time. The details of his separation will be available on the PEC website once it is back up - there is a story behind that as well - and it will be posted at when the site is back up also.

As for our return to Rome, I will post on that some time in the next month, when I get time. I have been going to spiritual direction, and Avila started direction last week. We have been back in the Church and going to Mass now for about 6+ weeks. It has felt great, and the first time back to the sacrament of reconciliation was very cleansing. People at our home parish simply thought we were out of town or something - so we have been able to pick up where we left off - but this time with much more vigor. We have shared with some of our closest friends the details of the summer away from the Church, and they have been very helpfull in confiming why we decided not to leave for good.

Well enough for now - I need to get back to my family.

Bondservant of Christ Jesus,
Chris

Welcome home. It sounds like you've been on a difficult journey. I pray that you are now finding the peace and joy of being back where you belong.

To Avila and Bondservant:

Welcome Home.





Peace and blessings to you both, and your family,
~VOW

 

[ZooMom]

I'll second that Welcome Home. You and Amy have been in my prayers. Not so much that you would come back to the Church, but that you might both find the Peace of our Lord wherever you chose to follow Him. Having doubts and questions can be very hard on faith (and relationships), but often it only serves to make us stronger.

Come on over to the Pub. I think I remember the kind of sundae you like.

(And don't worry Amy. I'll make sure he wears a bib. )

 

[isshinwhat]

Hi, Chris. It's good to see you posting again. Take care and God bless.

Neal

[size=huge]WELCOME BACK!!!

WELCOME HOME!!![/size]



{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Chris and Amy}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

You have done my heart immense good by letting us know this.
I can't tell you how much.

 

[ZooMom]

Hey Wols! We're all out here at the bar eating hash and drinking chocolate milkshakes. Grab a stool. (I've got a vanilla shake for you. )
