The Bishop is right on in asserting that this is not the time for drunken revelry and prideful parading...how sad that an Irish Catholic would identify first with his heritage rather than his faith.<BR/><BR/>I hope he is reading his words and asking "Did I really say that? Is that what I really believe?"<BR/><BR/>May God have mercy on the Shamrock club.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442366625332738957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-15504071291084769872008-02-22T12:16:00.000-05:002008-02-22T12:16:00.000-05:00Obviously St. Patrick's Day has become little but ...Obviously St. Patrick's Day has become little but a Holy Day of Obligation in the taverns.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your Bishop has taken the opportunity to remind the faithful to respect Holy Week. It's not like he took away St. Patrick's Day entirely--he just refocused it. That's his job.<BR/><BR/>I'd imagine that St. Patrick is relieved to have such a Bishop on his side.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-8086398451953871662008-02-22T10:58:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:58:00.000-05:00Aimee, Those were almost my exact words!
