Pope Approves Pig Latin Mass
A decidedly off-color story from Postcards (not for the impressionable or the anathema throwers). I laughed till it hurt, especially:
Pursuant to the pope’s decree, however, priests will no longer have to get permission from their bishops in order to say the mass in Pig Latin. What’s more, any folksongs sung at mass must be translated into Pig Latin, and any wishing of peace to one’s fellow mass goers must be rendered in Pig Latin also.
Not surprisingly many progressive Catholics greeted the pope’s decree with dismay.
—’Owinblay in the Indway,’— just doesn’t convey the same message as ‘Blowin’ in the Wind,’— said Father Bud, director of the Neumann Center at Millersville University in Pennsylvania.
What’s more, Jewish leaders complained that the inclusion of an Oodgay Idayfray prayer for the conversion of the Jews was —a slap in the face to Israel— and could lead to —serious military consequences— if it isn’t removed at once…
Probably more shades of truth here than in many MSM stories.
