If you have $50 and want to go to a prayer breakfast in Orange County, this is for you. With all the brownouts and other electrical problems in California this event could also be used to end all of their energy problems. Guest speakers include he Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, Archbishop of Denver and The Most Reverend Tod Brown, Bishop of Orange. If the Enterprise could use matter-antimatter collisions to fuel a starship surely these two could do the same thing. Though I am rather worried about what could happen if they shook hands? Would they annihilate each other and simply disappear and be replaced by some new particle such as an ELECTron as in one of the elect. I know this new particle would have a neutral charge since Rom 8:33 says "Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?" How much of the world could we power with these new orthodox/heterodox energy plants? Though I think the cost of losing a good bishop is too high.
If you are in a mood for some penance you could attend the prayer breakfast at Our Lady of the "Angles" by Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles.

I agree that the loss of a good bishop is too high. And just a comment–electron has a negative charge–perhaps a neutron?
Hopefully all attendees will kneel for the Bishops’ blessings!!!
I’d pay $50 to pay-per-view that iron cage deathmatch 🙂
Has Vince McMahon gotten word of this?

Clever post! Very clever!
On a serious note, I don’t think Chaput and Brown are opposites. Bishop Brown, while certainly Mahoney’s tag-along and controversal in his manner of correcting communicants, has never taught anything outright heterodox. I am from California, and I admit that there’s something seriously wrong with the bulk of the state’s dioceses. Nevertheless, Brown was John Paul II’s choice and we honor the former Pontiff when we honor his choice in a bishop. It could be much worse..just think of the Weakland debacle!
Besides, we do too much justice to Brown if we mention him as a counterpart to Chaput. One’s a pastor and teacher, the other’s a politian and fund-raiser!

politician, that is!
