The Stained Glass Buffalo blog has a picture of an actual stained glass window that he found in a Buffalo, NY church.
There is also a St. Lucy, but I think not a St. Schroeder.
The B-Movie Catechism is unusually informative and funny and today is no exception with an excellent merging of a series of B-Movie stills and a bit of Thomistic philosophy concerning souls.
Creative Minority Report comes up with an idea for a new website.
MyCustomizedCatholic.com will also have an online directory of dissident priests that you can hire to bring the Sacra-ligious-ments™ to your faith community.
CLEVELAND (AP) – Officials at the Cleveland airport say they’re considering moving its chapel because some visitors say the space is "too Catholic."
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport rents the large space to the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland for $1,200 a year. But as officials plan to renovate that concourse, they are talking with the diocese about moving the space or perhaps making it less denomination specific.
The Rev. Charles Doerpers says the diocese is open to making the chapel more inclusive to other faiths. But he also thinks money is the issue and fears the airport only wants the space for retail shops.
The American Civil Liberties Union has long complained about the space’s Catholic-specific space.
Well all they have to do is hire Fr. Dick Vosco and in no time they will have it looking less Catholic.
I was listening to Leo Laporte’s Tech Guy podcast and one women called up about site advice and mentioned one of her websites called rosarybelts.com.
This has got to be one of the strangest image juxtapositions I have ever seen.
Creative Minority Report came up with:
To help the Los Angeles archdiocese pay off the “crippling debt” accrued from sexual abuse settlements, Cardinal Roger Mahony will soon announce that his new $200 million Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles will now be called Auto Zone’s Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.
Mahony said the unobtrusive naming rights are the best way to ease its financial recovery from the settlements.
According to the March 14 Tidings, the archdiocesan newspaper, from two sexual abuse settlements – last year’s “global settlement” of 508 cases and a December 2006 settlement of 45 cases – the archdiocese has agreed to pay $720 million over the next few years. That coupled with the skyrocketing costs of the Cathedral inspired the naming rights breakthrough.
Mahony said the Church will be back in the black soon enough, after this idea.
A few other "untraditional" changes to the Cathedral is a bowl of holy water which is kept near each entrance to the church will have a small tasteful sign underneath that "Evian" is the official water used for holy water.
…
Actually if they did sell the name of the Cathedral in L.A. I am sure Progressive Auto Insurance would be an apt sponsor.
