Knocking, 21st-century style

Let's hear it for Homeland Security. Um, maybe not.

Okay, I don't know what I think of Sr. Mary Martha's theology here (perhaps she's being playful and I don't get it), but here's a quotation I simply had to bring you:

"There are many other types of Scapulars, though, and they come in different colors, like our national Terror Alert System, only useful."

(And you thought I was going to talk about Janet Napolitano, didn't you?)

Overheard

She: "For a pig farmer from Kankakee, he really is a wonderful homilist."

Me: "That is so on the blog."

That's so on the blog!

It's time to initiate a new classification here on Exultet. It's an homage to (heck, it's an outright theft from) Cacciguida's description of one of his and Elinor's priceless dialogues.

To kick it off, here's something that caught my attention during this morning's homily on our need to become well-formed in Scripture and Church teaching:

"The 'trickle-down effect' of infallibility does not make it all the way to this pulpit."
