Memento mori: Good
Memento Tamerlane: Bad
From Fr Z's Blog
You know about the flesh-eating amoeba that attacks brains? Part of the problem in the Church today is the worldly, spirit-eating amoeba that is eating the souls of bishops.
This is from La Repubblica.
Here is a new altar in the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta a Gallarate.
A sort of “head will roll!” altar.
This has little to nothing to do with the Christian Faith. This is not a healthy “Memento mori”. This is not a display of relics of saints to venerate.
This is simply appalling.
A great argument for the antependium.
These people think they are sooooo sophisticated and deep.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
