I know a priest who insists that every verse of every hymn is sung for hymns/songs picked for the liturgy.
Does anyone have any informed thoughts on the benefits/drawbacks of that?
I believe the reason he does it is that he considers most hymns to be complete prayers, if sing only a verse or two, you’ve missed out on some of the richness of the rest of the text.
Let me know if you have any thoughts, please.

put his email address on the site I would write to tell him to kiss my moose.

My sarcasm aside I want to say with all respect and charity I think he would do well to show some integrity and honesty by posting his name and a means by which he can be contacted. Even those of us that write with a nom de cyber publish our email addresses. Pretentiously jabbering about grammatical mistakes a blogger made more than a month is obtuse. I’m done wasting bits and bytes on ye whose name may not be spoken!

Has anyone thought of writing up and profiling these start-ups and up-starts and posting the list online? I mean in a non-biased way – just stating the facts and letting readers decide for themselves if they are nuttier than something that is chock full o’ nuts. That would be a good project for someone with a bit time on their hands. Actually if you are reading this and in one of those groups please email me some info and I’ll try to pull this together. Contact info and URL would be ideal. If you know of any other groups please email me.

I am asking about this because I posted a link to Catholics for Authentic Reform without really looking into their ecclesiastical shtick. I’m not knocking them, I just didn’t have time to look and I should have. I want to be a bit more careful in the future and make sure I am not linking to Kreative Katholic Koncepts (thanks for that phrase, Alexandra!), The Peoples’ Front of Rome, the Roman Peoples’ Front, Catholics for the Liberation of Space Cabbage, or some such group. More on this later.

And if we must rate them we’ll use the following scale:
Does not contain nuts
May contain nuts
Slighty nutty bouquet with fruity overtones
Somewhat nutty and fruity
Flaky and nutty
Exceedingly fruity and nutty
Nuttier than a cheese log
Nutrageous

Steve – you need to add the spam first so all the healthy spam juices can escape and mingle with the potatos. I saw Alton Brown do it on Good Eats.

and let us know if you tried the recipe. I think the shredded potatoes would take too long to cook compared with the shredded spam and I’m not going to waste a perfectly good can of spam proving my theory!
