And more dangerously it becomes corruptible for the original purpose is lost and the ritual becomes the only objective. I fear that having witnessed the pagan adaptations of the catholic rituals principally the drunken pall bearers at funerary processions blocking the streets in Caracas as a child it forever cemented in my mind a dark and fearful image of it all in my mind. Though I must admit later in life that image was illuminated somewhat by the retired priest who was our neighbor and was often visited by his other retired priest friends in a nice white convertible with a personalized license plate that read "god's squad".Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-51081529863966639752014-05-18T13:18:16.160+01:002014-05-18T13:18:16.160+01:00I only ever think of them standing in their tabern...I only ever think of them standing in their tabernacles in white albs and I am about to walk in....Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-45323838601633463202014-05-18T12:07:47.254+01:002014-05-18T12:07:47.254+01:00Being tagged 'Honourable' can't be tha...Being tagged 'Honourable' can't be that easy to live up to.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-5408962658897490112014-05-18T12:04:45.763+01:002014-05-18T12:04:45.763+01:00I like that idea.I like that idea.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-74893670337370439402014-05-18T11:25:53.213+01:002014-05-18T11:25:53.213+01:00I too am an unbeliever Cro.
