I told Cardinal Marini that this wouldn’t make an effective umbrella.
Cardinal?! As much as I want him to be removed from his current position, I definitely wouldn’t want Abp. Marini to be promoted to the Sacred College!
Going back to your article about college to catholic, why is it funny its true and there are alot of angry students voicing their opinions!
And I thought the one our pastor uses held a lot of water, this puts Father Foley’s to shame!
I looked quick and thought “feather duster”.

If that’s an old-style aspergillum, I can see the resemblance in aspergillum funguses.
Why do they use these evergreen aspergillium deals? I like the old all-metal ones that work. It also holds a lot of water. These branches don’t.
I guess it’s the attempt to be more “natural”. I bet the Pope is silently saying here, “Never again.”
PARSLEY! You always forget the Parsley!
I’ve never understood that “style” of aspergellum. They end up soaking one person, then nobody else gets any holy water … until the cleric dunks it again.
Dunk, soak 1 person, repeat.
