“Bless this hammer, O Lord, that with it thou mayst smash thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.” And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals … Now did the Lord say, “First thou shalt tap the Holy Hammer on the door three times. Three shall be the number of the tapping and the number of the tapping shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the tapping, be reached, then flingest thou the Holy Hammer in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”
Very funny! You may be beating American Papists’s humor very soon! 😀 From the camera angle of this one it really looks like he’s pounding in a nail doesn’t it??!
Remembering his youth reading Thor comics, Archbishop Dolan tries his own Mjolnir. But since only a twig was available, the hammer came out rather small.

They destroyed this temple, but in three days I rebuilt it.
Father MacGillicuddy? You can’t stay in there all day reading the Curt Jester! You’ve got a line of people out here for Mass! Father? Father?
Archbishop Dolan almost misses his transfer.
“If I give it a gentle tap in just the right spot, the lock should come open. I worked my way through seminary as a locksmith, you know.”
There. No more loose decorative scrollwork around here.

What I do to this door now, I will do to the heads of progressives later.
