Stomach cramping your style

Comment(s) (20)

Have you identified yourself as a progressive Catholics and have looked forward to every issue of the National Catholic Reporter and other organs of Catholic dissidents and yet feel yourself moving towards obedience to the Church! Do the words "institutional Church" just not come out of your mouth the same anymore? Is the sneer when you say "hierarchical Church" just not what it was? Do you feel yourself even warming to Pope Benedict XVI and even found his book Jesus of Nazareth brilliant? Have you actually read the documents of Vatican II and actually see the purported spirit of it was a false spirit?

Have you found progressive ecclesiology to be defective and ultimately it leads only to confusion and to everybody being prophetic, but no one being obedient? Have you experienced any of these signs and yet your stomach starts to ache when you even think about obedience to the official teaching magisterium of the Church? Just the thought of a Mandatum still would give you an ulcer? That "Religious submission of mind and of will" makes you grab for a bottle of Pepto Bismal, but to no avail?

Nobody says that obedience is easy, but there is a way to make it easier! The problem is caused by exposure to too many column by Fr. McBrien, Gary Wills, and the like and a resistance to orthodoxy that shows itself in a upset to the stomach lining. This is a common mind-body response that unto now you just had to offer it up!

Introducing Milk of Magisterium from your local Latin Rite Aid.

Milk of Magisterium is primarily used to relieve that upset stomach when your will aligns with the will of the Church. Milk of Magisterium immediately starts acting on tiny bacterial critters know as dissidentium. Often times this can also result in painful cramping and severe diarrhea calleddissentery.

Milk of Magisterium is dosed at approximate 500mg to 1.5g in adults and works by simple dissidentium neutralization, where the Magisterium ions combine with progressive and acidic dissidentium bacteria producing progressive antibodies that works to root out disobedient bacteria and relieve any dissentery.

A half an hour after taking a dose try reading Dominus Iesus and if you experience no stomach upset than you know Milk of Magisterium is working! If you can subsequently say "The liberalization of the Tridentine Rite is a great idea" than congratulations you are cured. If you still have a stomach reaction try prayer and another dose of Milk of Magisterium.

Now to be honest if you are already faithful to the Church and just experience nausea reading some progressive Catholic articles, you don't need Milk of Magisterium - this is a normal reaction.

Milk of Magisterium also works as a Paxative bringing peace to you system by destroying dissidentium and letting you come to have the joy of not only being faithful to the authentic (accept no substitutes) teaching authority of the Magisterium, but also the joy of digger deeper into the plentiful mysteries of the faith.

So stop by your local Latin Rite Aid for a bottle of Milk of Magisterium and put problems behind you.

Warnings:
Ask a doctor before use if you are still subscribing to dissident magazines or are a member of groups such as Call To Action.

Do not use with contraceptives - severe moral interactions will occur.

May cause alertness making you realize just how silly some of your previous views really were. Best if taken with a high dose of humility.

If pregnant or breastfeeding: Congratulations!

Jeff, a great post, laughed out loud. Ranks right up there with Humanae Vitaemins (now with B16!). You rock!

Very Funny!

Damn, you're funny.

The warnings were great! But wait a minute--you forgot "possible side effects"! I guess we can expect a postscript? :)

I copied and pasted it to an e-mail I sent to my priest, he'll love it.

One word, after 'funny', of course -

B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T

Keep up the good work and the Spirit will probably get you killed for it. Or, should you live, He'll bring you on in public relations work.

Hey Jeff, I sometimes get nauseated when I eat Post Vatican II Flakes for breakfast. Would this product help?

"Latin" Rite Aid, absolutely brilliant! As were the Warnings.

Now, if they could only come up with a vaccine to prevent "dissidentium" in the 1st place.

heeeeelarious!
especially loved the last bit with congrats!

This is first-class humor. It really is. It's professional-grade. Good work!

"paxative" now, that right there is funny!

This is one of your all-time greatest! I especially love the "dissidentium" and "dissentery" parts. But the whole thing is hilarious.
.

You are BRILLIANT, Jeff! Absolutely love it!

"Latin Rite Aid"

lol!

Daer Curt Jester,

You have a great Blog! I discovered you about a month ago. The last entry on The Milk of the Magisterium is delicious!!! Keep up the good work.. (I live in Italy...it has been a blessing for me to discover all these Anglo/American Blogs about being Orthodox Catholic. Long Live Pope Benedict! Barbara from Italy

Actually, while I think this is very clever with creative plays on words, I'm not sure how genuinely funny it is. This is an example of why I dislike sarcasm: when it is directed at someone you actually disagree with, but said in a fun lighthearted manner. It seems harsh to crack jokes about the immorality of contraception. For me, though it is clever, it isn't "funny" unless you're willing to assume all liberals are mindless and all dissenters heartless . . . and then point the finger and laugh.

Am I the only one lucky enough not to have his boss around as I'm reading this? LOL

I think you should do a parody called "Mr. Motu Risin'", a spoof off the Doors hit.

Love it!

This is why I love puns. XD

Yes the Greek Captcha is a joke

The Curt Jester

A former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind.

Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.
