« What I didn’t like about the Papal Inauguration
Why didn’t they cover Gosnell? »

So yeah

April 8, 2013 by Amy Welborn

So yeah, I haven’t blogged in a while.  Mostly because I don’t care much about blogging and also because the blogging universe drives me batty.

So really, the most accurate way of expressing it all is via Tumblr Gif Talk.

So here ya go:

So Pope Benedict resigned and I was like all:

THEN I was like all:

And then Pope Francis was elected and I was like:

Although seriously, I knew he was ordained after Ye Old V2 and seemed casual about liturgy so I admit that I was a little wary and a little like:

Why? Because even though I’m a post V2 baby and I attend Ye Old Novus Ordo…well..

..I was liking where B16 was taking us on this.

But let’s just say that one of the last times I went to Mass, the priest said, “Since I can’t think of anything witty to say, I guess I’ll just say the closing prayer.”

SHUTUP. 

Okay.  When that lame kind of stuff goes down, I just try to think:

Yeah. Me neither.

 

So…just..

But please don’t give these guys any hint that that is okay. Pope. Please. Mkay?

And then I go to another Mass and it’s all chant-y and no one messes around or makes stuff up as they go and I’m like:

And I’m thinkin’….should I blog on all of this? Because it’s pretty metaphorical and stuff.

Nah.  Too much else to do.  Homeschooling and sh**.

But then the hits just keep on coming.  The implication that we’re in a “fresh new era” and that it’s *all* so much better now, without mozettas and crap.  Even from bishops! Talkin’ about the Refreshing Fresh Air and Fresh New Tone of Freshness.  Not to speak of the Refreshing Simplicity of the Fresh New Simple Tone. So I’m all:

And trying to hold it in.  Especially when people are all intense about the new Pope, who is great, (I think), but they’re all:

And they’re all like: ERMYGAWD ITHINKIMSUPPOSEDTOHELPTHEPOORBECAUSEPOPEFRANCIS  and I’m all like:

And:

Did you NEVER read a freakin’ GOSPEL before March 13?

But…

…then it’s like Sunday night, April 7 at 8pm central, so I’m like:

Later, Gator!

  • Me on a certain element of John Wick 4. You can...probably guess which one.  Some thoughts on #solotravel and the #emptynest which of course turns into a Big Ol' Metaphor... "...as I get older, my position in this body seems to be shifting. Sitting in the front speaks of a life centered on quieting, teaching, forming and directing, of a time of life when molding and shaping other people is your job and actually seems possible. A short video with photos from my February trip to Matera #Italy .  Portions of "The Passion of the Christ" and "No Time to Die," as well as several other movies were filmed here. More at March 19 is the Solemnity of St. Joseph. (It will be celebrated tomorrow, 3/20 in the US). I arise today For St. Patrick's Day, some images from a wonderful old book. For more: St. Patrick’s Day is on Friday, but in preparation, let’s take a look at a mention of him in my new Loyola Kids Book of Seasons, Feasts and Celebrations. A short video with images of some of the churches I visited in #Naples during my February trip. For more, go to:
