Posted by Cacciaguida email at July 23, 2007 7:53 PMIt's -- THE ROSARY TOUGHS!
(OK Father Philip -- I'm 47 and I've never worked in campus ministry -- what's the "prayin' dirty" deal?)
Also: Who's the guy on the left? We all know Papa Benny, and Father Ganswein I recognize, but who's the chap in the polo shirt? I hope he's not a cleric!
Posted by PMcGrath email at July 23, 2007 9:45 PMP, it's a play on the song "Drivin' Dirty". I'm older than you are, but my kids sing that goofy song a lot. It gets stuck in your head.
Posted by joanne email at July 23, 2007 10:28 PMOK, if we finish the Joyful Mysteries before our tee time, maybe the Blessed Mother will help us break par.
Posted by Roz email at July 23, 2007 10:54 PMJoanne, the song is actually called 'Ridin' Dirty' by Chamillionare. Yes, I said Chamillionare. Catchy beat, but not any substance. I think the guy in the polo is a security guard.
Posted by Lauren email at July 23, 2007 10:59 PMThe man in the golf shirt is Angelo Gugel. Although I suspect this is not a PC term, "Butler to The Holy Father" or dare I say... servant of the servant of the servants of God!
Posted by Jake email at July 24, 2007 12:19 AMScott, it was Mosca (dressed as a priest)who was sent by Don Altobella to kill Michael Corleone in Godfather III. Otherwise, I love it.
Posted by Al email at July 24, 2007 1:13 AMPapa Benedetto: Fr. Bonasera... Fr. Bonasera! Why, why didn't you come to me before this? If you had come to me before this, even now, the scum who did this to your liturgy would be suffering even as your parishioners are suffering.

These mysteries are so Luminous, I've got to wear shades!
Posted by TimC email at July 24, 2007 12:01 PMCue theme music from The Sopranos: "Woke up this morning. Got myself some beads.... Ma always said you'd be the holy one.... Woke up this morning. Got myself some beads."

Not clear: is the P.A. is a priest or not?
Posted by Anne email at July 24, 2007 5:20 PMWhen in Rome...you do what the Holy Father does!
Posted by TSO email at July 24, 2007 5:27 PMAngelo Gugel is not a priest. He is the the Holy Father's former valet. Now retired.
Posted by Olauda email at July 24, 2007 5:42 PMArchbishop Lefebvre gave me these glasses which always turn black when I get to the luminous mysteries.
Posted by Burnt Marshwiggle email at July 25, 2007 10:07 AMYou're right, Lauren. See what happens when you get old? You can't even remember what you know. I would have consulted my children, but I couldn't remember where I had put them...ahhhhh...
Posted by joanne email at July 25, 2007 10:54 AMOn the subject of memory, which I brought up, this is a great picture but it reminds me of s'thing I can't name & it's bugging me! Is it "Men in Black"? The Mod Squad? No, it's not Charlie's Angels...
Help me out, here.
Papa Benny looks cool in shades...
Funny posts, y'all...wish I was that creative....
Posted by irishgirl email at July 25, 2007 1:41 PMGeorg, I told you dat dese dark glasses vere a lousy disguise!
