Bishop of Linz sacks a priest for being orthodox

H/T to Laudem Gloriae for this appalling bit of news.....

http://laudemgloriae.blogspot.com/2011/09/bishop-of-linz-dismisses-faithful.html

Bishop Ludwig Schwarz of Linz

...and now for some appalling doggerel.....

The Bishop of Linz

Seems to like sinz

But, with a name like Schwarz

You expect a few wartz

After Ogden Nash (with apologies to the great man and to anyone who bears the surname Schwarz (except Ludwig, that is).)

A Nash fan, eh? "If called by a panther, Don't anther." I'm just grateful you didn't try to rhyme Ludwig; the result might have been too messy to contemplate.

LOL. I think you've given him respect due. Of course, there's a danger he might include it in the liturgy.
I've sent an email of support to the priest at the email address given on the website you linked.
Thank goodness it couldn't happen here . . . . .

A Mother's prayer for her soldier son

As Thou didst walk in Galilee, so loving Saviour, walk with him for me: For since the years have passed and he has grown, I cannot follow, he must walk alone. Be Thou my feet that I have had to stay, for Thou canst comrade him on every way. Be Thou my voice, when sinful things allure, pleading with him to choose those that endure. Be Thou my hand that would keep his in mine, all, all things that a mother must resign. When he was little I could walk with him and guide but now, I pray Thee, Thou be at his side. And as Thy Blessed Mother folded Thee, so kind and loving Saviour, guard my son for me.
