Dual Vocations

In honor of Independence Day, I would like to offer these examples of priests with a healthy sensse of Ignatian independence from the typical vocation:

The Fashion-Designer Priest

The Baker Priest

The Rapper Priest, East Coast

The Rapper Priest, West Coast (that picture is just begging for an Ironic Catholic Caption Contest)

Do you know of any hypen-priests that deserve our attention?

No, but I now have three new baking books on my Amazon wish list...

Well, he's Episcopalian so he's a different kind of priest, but Robert Farrar Capon wrote THE SUPPER OF THE LAMB, an amazing book with some wonderful recipes.

Architect Priest, and a Jesuit to boot (they're THE BEST):

Your wish is my command....

Architect Priest! What a good antidote to Richard Vosko, the creep responsible for ruining Our Lady of Lourdes in Oakland, St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee, and many other churches worldwide.

Well...as a parish secretary, perhaps I see more than most, but with the priest shortage, MOST pastors are hyphen-something....depending on the hour of the day, & what Providence has provided for the day. How about janitor-priest (cleaning up after the toilet in the lady's room overflowed & emptying trash cans), gardener-priest (digging up a garden of perennials before new construction was to begin in that spot), calligrapher-priest (writing all the book plates inside the new hymnals of those who sponsored them)....the list continues.

  • Folk Mass is so passe. It's all about the glam-rock Mass today.

  • Because Jesus prefers to get it in writing.

  • A gift for your favorite RCIA drop-out.

  • Breakfast IS miraculous.

  • He'd stop looking at all that porn, you pervert.

  • Because the only thing missing from the Fatima apparitions? Unicorns.

  • My solar-powered-virgin can beat up your glow-in-the-dark St. Joseph.

  • There's nothing like taking a shower with the Pope.

  • The perfect box for your Lenten lunches.

  • She looks just like my principal in 4th grade. Her breath probably smells better, though.

  • Now you can say with authority, "Jesus told me so!"

  • Nicotine patch not working? Try some good old fashioned Catholic guilt!

  • There's no time like Easter to say, "I hope you move away."

  • Just in time for the Papal visit. Prove you know who he was before everyone started calling him "Pope Benny."

  • I'm guessing "making out with a cutie" isn't on their list of "fun."

  • Uhm, I believe the correct Latin term is "Fr. What-a-Waste." See MightyGoods for more info!
