Renew My Church: New round of unified parishes began July 1 — Chicago Catholic newspaper

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Lipstick on pig . . .

Sunday sermons, weekday observations

“Unified”? As if repairing a split?

Or “merged,” as solving a problem — fewer worshipers, for one.

You’re gonna put the best face on things, but there’s a rah-rah about it all that does not sit well.

  1. The photo is pathetic and lip stick on pigs (good line) is disgusting. Don’t know why we can’t have outdoor, unmasked confessions and communion services. I understand that Vatican II tried to do entirely away with communion service. We could have stations as in old Milan. A pity.
