From the Index Non Prohibitum

The "Catholic" Quo Vadis (whose interweblog is on the Index and therefore should NOT be read) hath tagged me with a même.

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).

It is entitled "I Am America (and so can you) by one of the last bastions of truthiness left in this nation, Stephen Colbert.

2. Open the book to page 123.

Bien sur.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

Je finis.

4. Post the next three sentences.

But my sheepskin announces to all assembled that though I may be a man of the people, I also have the keys to the clubhouse. I can't count the number of times I've heard the phrase, "You went to Dartmouth? I find that hard to believe." Admissions is an arbitrary and demoralizing process, and no matter how hard you work, the outcome is often determined by personal connections.

5. Tag five people.

Five is even more than showed up for Mass at our chapel last week, so I shall tag Fr. Heidrich and George.

-the Future Most Rev. Chadwick LeJanvier, SSLI, Bishop of Knoxville

I have been Tagged

1. Do you attend the Traditional Latin Mass or the Novus Ordo?

I attend the One, True Mass: a Traditional Latin Mass celebrated by the Society of Saint Leo I.

2. If you attend the TLM, how far do you drive to get there?

I live in the rectory immediately next to the church, so I walk. I don't even own a car, being made by the apostate scientists of the Modernist Age.

3. If you had to apply a Catholic label to yourself, what would it be?

A member of the One, Truly True Faith: the Society of Saint Leo I.

4. Are you a comment junkie?

That would be a grave sin of vanity. However, comments are very much welcome and appreciated.

5. Do you go back to read the comments on the blogs you’ve commented on?

Certainly. One wants to see the responses to one's messages, no?

6. Have you ever left an anonymous comment on another blog?

Moi? Certainly not!

7. Which blogroll would you most like to be on?

Though perhaps not traditional enough, I would be honored to appear on Archbishop Fellay's interweb links.

8. Which blog is the first one you check?

My nemesis, the interweblog of SOV2, but only to learn of what dastardly deed they are planning next that I may thwart it.

9. Have you met any other bloggers in person?

Only those who were at the Ecumenical Picnic last summer.

10. What are you reading?

Cornelius Otto Jansen, Augustinius

Bonus Question! Has your site been banned by Spirit of Vatican II?

This is true.

If it has, who do you think Father Tim really is?

I have known Fr. Plarvik for many years an I am not so sure he knows who he is himself.

Furthermore, Twisted Valley, the interwebsite that has tagged me with this même, has been deemed not traditional enough and is thus EXCOMMUNICATED from Truly True Church.

Interweblog Rating

I'm quite surprised by our rating. We openly discuss the evils and consequences of heresy here that I would not think appropriate for children. Also, we are very selective as to who we admit here at St. Leo's.

un petit même

I have been asked to complete a "même" listing what things do not bother me. Fortunately I was not asked for a list of things that do bother me, as that list would be considerably longer. In no particular order:

1. Latin
2. Republicans
3. Holy War
4. fasting for 40 days
5. corporal mortification
6. dissent against Vatican II
7. suppressed private revelation
8. censorship
9. cultural superiority
10. wearing black in summer
11. tithing
12. caesaropapism
13. sedevacantism
14. Feeneyism
15. cheese
16. scrupulosity
17. the Spanish Inquisition (NOBODY expected that, right?)
18. witch hunts
19. burning heretics
20. the "Dark Ages"
21. Mel Gibson

I am fairly sure everything else bothers me.
