"The Crisis," "The Situation," or "The Kettle of Fish?"

Mark Sullivan writes:

"Kettle of Fish." This has a certain cultural resonance, carrying with it connotations of Friday fasts and mackerel-snapping, no?

Doug Sirman appreciates my comments, saying:

THANK YOU! Although I prefer "That Damned Mess!", 'crisis' should do.

And Emily Stimpson agrees with me:

No argument here -- and I don't think you're cranky. I stopped calling it The Situation awhile back. You'll notice I now always refer to it as the crisis. Well, almost always.

Mike Shirley writes:

I think "crisis" works well, given that it combines "danger" and
"opportunity."

"Kettle of Fish" doesn't properly convey the gravity of it all. I wonder what Jesus is calling it.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
