It’s Adam. He just ate the new “Monster Burger” from Hardee’s. While McDonald’s is phasing out the “Super” sizes, no doubt in the interest of public health but possibly motivated by the fear of a class-action lawsuit decades hence, Hardee’s puts forth this delicious combination of cow and pig – a 2/3 pound double burger with bacon and so much cheese it can hardly be called cheese only, a new adjective is needed to describe the amount of cheese contained therein. It is a gigantical portion of cheese. Caseus magnus. But why call it the “Monster Burger”? They would do well to give it some appeal to the hip-hop generation by calling it the “Monstah Burger” which, incidentally would be my rapper name if I was a rapper. It would be either “Monstah Burger” or “Massive Breakfast.” My rapper name, I mean.
Anyhow, don’t eat the Monster Burger- it’s bad for you and gluttons go to Hell. Pray for Adam.

A laxative for the soul.
60% of the priests in Arlington gay? No way!
The stuff is hitting the fan here in Arlington. Silenced priest warns of gay crisis – Washtimes
I can’t believe I missed this story earlier today. Fr. James Haley has dropped another bomb in the media, as if the covers of gay porno mags on the evening news three years ago wasn’t enough, he says now that based on his experience in the Diocese 60% of the presbyterate is gay. What the heck?
Here’s my take: Reverend Haley didn’t get what he wanted from Bishop Loverde when he came forward with evidence of priestly wrongdoing, so he went to the media. Haley hasn’t gotting a ruling on the proceedings held to determine if he will be laicized, so he is going to the media again. The truth of the original allegations in no way justifies him going to the media with the evidence he presented to Bishop Loverde. Not only did he disobey Bishop Loverde, he scandalized the Diocese in the worst way possible. He’s doing it again.
From a reader on the Mass for the 25th Anniversary of the Pastoral Letter “Brothers and Sisters to Us”
Sal –
It really is a night to say what the heck! [He’s referencing my post below] If any of you were unlucky enough to watch the Bishop’s Conference Mass this evening at the National Shrine you’re probably thinking the same thing. The bishops were commemorating the 25th anniversary of their pastoral letter on racism, Brothers and Sisters to Us, in which they declared “racism is a sin.” Let me tell you, that Mass was a sin.I tuned in towards the beginning right before the proclamation of the Gospel in time to see the camera pan a shot of the front row of bishops which was the entire black episcopate in the United States. So what? It’s Bishop Gregory’s last Mass as Conference President; they honor the black bishops and promote the black cause. Nice enough. Then as if transported to the deep South the Gospel choir begins their rendition of the Alleluia in rounds. But wait, you think it can’t get more interesting? Oh, my friends, it does. I flipped back in time to see the recessional out and was amazed to see the “crowds” in the Basilica. They must have been at least 200 strong! In a Basilica that can seat thousands, at one of the most important Masses of the year, and at a time when our bishops need some kind of support where is the flock? I am reminded of the quote from Scripture, Matthew’s Gospel I believe, “like sheep without a shepherd.” Hmmmm, seems like the shepherds are missing their sheep. What do you think?
Sincerely

Mr. Ball,
I think your views don’t reflect those of the happy bloggers here at CL. But thanks for writing anyhow.
