Deacon,, where were you when media feasted on the red Prada shoes of Pope Benedict? And you repeated the homily in the next Mass???? How many times did you repeat that homily? Will you make a public retraction of whatever you said...and in the same number of times you made it?<br />Father Jojo Zerrudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259546206010624496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918598045168602139.post-18245392685330164602014-03-12T14:49:57.149+08:002014-03-12T14:49:57.149+08:00Sir I also replied to him yesterday.

If you will look closely at the Fascia or sash you will clearly see the Papal Coat of Arms of Pope Benedict.<br /><br />I am sorry but I cannot help to think that you are making fun of Pope Benedict. At mark 9:55 you showed some luxury brands, and then at mark 10:25 you showed the Red Shoes. I heard laughter.<br /><br />I am sorry for reacting this way. But for us who admire and respect Pope Benedict so much it is very hurtful that we can always hear people mocking the Holy Father just because he loves tradition.<br /><br />Then the Deacon replied again.:<br /><br />Thanks again Jeffrey.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I too was dismayed with the laughter – I did not expect it. Note that I did not recognize or engage in the laughter and remained in a serious tone as I explained what is good (and holy) about such attire. At the next Mass I made a point out of saying this image was posted not be funny or laughed at, but to make a point. The Prada reference was unfortunate. I had been talking about food and clothing as referenced in the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel, and how many in society worry about shopping at the upscale grocery store or wearing name brand apparel because we worry about our self-esteem and image. The Prada reference was not intended to be associated with the papal vestments. One of those learning moments and I admit it unfortunate that one followed the other giving the wrong impression.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Again – thank you for engaging with me respectfully – and thank you for your prayers.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439512683953759742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918598045168602139.post-64720523037914420802014-03-12T11:49:03.827+08:002014-03-12T11:49:03.827+08:00The deacon has a lot of material to take to the co...The deacon has a lot of material to take to the confessional during this holy season of Lent.<br /><br />It's one thing to be caught in a lie. It's entirely another thing to be caught in a lie made in a global forum.<br /><br />One good thing about the internet—it exposes what we say and do to a lot of listeners and watchers. We had better keep in mind that the light of truth can shine on us all at any time.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388899986377479033noreply@blogger.com
