Enemy Within

"The greatest persecution of the church doesn't come from enemies on the outside but is born from the sins within the church," says Pope Benedict.

Yes, I couldn't agree more.

A Lamb without Blemish...

I attended the Mass of the Lord's Supper at St. John's. I have my Holy Thursday meal ready to prepare. Last year, I did a Passover theme and had roasted lamb (way more than I needed), endive (bitter herbs), matzo and red wine. I was pleased, even though I had to find creative ways to deal with the leftover lamb. It's nice to have lamb once in a while and I'm doing it again.

I have lamb chops this year, the endive, water crackers instead of matzo, and a Yellow Tail shiraz. I'm thinking of pan broiling the chops. The last time I used the oven broiler for lamb chops, they ignited thanks to the fat in the lamb.

I will finish watching my "Jesus of Nazareth" DVD. Let the Sacred Triduum begin.

Oh, good, the Vatican likes Pink Floyd and U2

More specifically, LOR, that Vatican publication the mass media loves to quote, loves them: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/02/15/the-beatles-michael-jackson-and-u2-make-vatican-newspapers-list-of-best-albums-bob-dylan-snubbed/.

Hot damn! They picked two of my favorite albums. I notice The Doors didn't make the list, I guess there's no surprise there, hehe.

Now, this article says "the Vatican has previously denounced rock music as the devil’s work." Umm, when did they do that? Was there a Papal proclamation that I missed or something? I call BS on that bit of reporting. I don't think they made such a broad statement about a musical genre, although I do recall hearing they got into a tizzy over John Lennon's statement about being more popular than Jesus, but they got over it - several decades later.
