MooPig Church of the Beach Department :: "Catholicism"

The catholic Case for a New Strategy
Mixed Mashed Articles by Pat Darnell  |  Dec 7, 2014  |  Bryan TX

Generally we avoid discussions on religions. Doesn't that sound familiar? Almost all social networks post in their guidelines that discussion of liturgy and religion latency will not be tolerated. Then you have atheist groups that don't talk about religion, but actually do talk about religion... eh?

It is the end of the year and all our thoughts turn to our immortal selves, even though we are mortal. But anyway, what we believe seems to have bearing on our living conditions. Pedagogy dodgy, trite, trans-humanism, psycho babble, building maintenance, large salaries; seems a bit much for a non-taxed institutions, that there are more denominations of than there are grains of sand on the beach.

At present churches in the USA seem to have screws loose. I cannot find a church in Bryan TX that isn't heavy-handed pedagogy, starving financially, or stodgy dodgy. But that's me. I have always desired a church that has an architecturally significant building that houses exquisite melodies and is filled with edifying, profound Bible teachings.

We, the MooPig Church of the Beach Department are not going to take on the Catholic Church. NO way. Others are significantly invested in petitioning the Catholic Church to expand in some areas and to cut off branches of the vine in other areas of Christianity. We don't have to add to that. One of our faceBook friends, Annie Gottlieb, posted this article:

After the Future: Walker Percy's Postmodern Catholicism: "Elie quotes Dorothy Day, who somewhere said that the saint is the one who lives his life in a way that would make no sense if God did not exist. The logic of faith, is therefore, the obverse of what makes sense in the broader culture. What is rich is poor, and what is poor is rich. What is fullness in the one is emptiness in the other. The proud shall be humbled, the meek exalted. What is powerful in the world is weakness in the eyes of the Church, or should be. If the Church as Institution truly understood this and organized itself according to this logic, it would not look at all the way it does. And its spiritual authority and credibility would increase a hundredfold. The world longs for such a Church."

MooPig Church of the Beach editor, William Rathnistein, says, "We are entering the 'Efforts of the Generalists' in Post-Modern Pre-Revival Modern Pre-Quel Age' of pastors. They put on a show, speak in psychological terms, and rally large crowds under the banner of 'Abundant Living, and pass the collection plates.'"

According to today's article the "world longs for such a church." Not the one we just described but --

"...What is rich is poor, and what is poor is rich. What is fullness in the one is emptiness in the other. The proud shall be humbled, the meek exalted. What is powerful in the world is weakness in the eyes of the Church, or should be. If the Church as Institution truly understood this and organized itself according to this logic, it would not look at all the way it does..."

Therefore, we turn to “Burning Man” type stuff, and its counterpart, post-Modern multi-purpose, multi-use “Kit Churches’...” a couple of crucibles with stand-offish natures.

We are always committed when we start a new thing; and always uncover some revelations from our hospital beds. As often the case, our upstart, in-house discussions so far have invariably ended in fine strands of sifting Sand; like sand in an hour glass.

And, in the case of Joel Osteen, we say "Beware the Mullet."

CONCLUSION
We always include a conclusion at the end of our articles. We are hoping that you, dear readers, all seven of you, will at least read this bit of quantitative-subjectivity, if you do not read the rest of the article. Unfortunately, today, we seem to have lost our train of thought, and have strayed from our intended subject matter, post-Modern Catholicism. It's a bust.

MooPig Open Source Department :: "Vacuum Tube Railroad" and "Flying Car" etc.

Elon Musk Reveals Open Source Design for 14,000 Mile-an-Hour Vacuum Tube Railroad | The Mind Unleashed: "Musk calls the system a cross between ‘an air hockey table, a railgun, and a Concord jet.’ It would likely travel at speeds closer to 750 miles per hour, rather than its potential 14,000, but that would have you drinking your favorite cup of cappuccino in Chicago, having come from Dallas in under an hour – likely less time than it takes you to manage your morning commute. ET3 and the Rand corporation are looking into the technology, but it is available to anyone who is interested in taking his ‘dream’ of faster travel to the next step, and making it a reality."

MooPig Wisdom "One-Thousandth" Posting Celebration

TODAY Feb 18, 2009 "1,000 POSTS"

Pat Darnell and the Herd
by Edict from the Bearer of the Staff of Ra, is Decreed:
"In this year of the Ox -- 4076 of Lucky Earth -- In the House of /!*\ -- It is Finished, it is finished, it is finished at last..."

MooPig has gracefully Grandfathered itself into a system bound for glory, and beyond. It has distinguished itself to Cyber Deity as meet and well, and shall not suffer the PASSOVER curse of future tenants. Selah.. (Amenski)
MooPig is ready for the WAYBack Machine Archive


or, Great Balls of Meat on Fire, Celebration
Compiled by Pat Darnell

Pretty soon MooPig Enterprises will be celebrating its One-Thousandth Posting on MooPig Wisdom. On February 12th, 2009, the total is 985 posts...

"This blogger site, MooPig Wisdom, is our actual Flag-ship," said President Fonz Obscura, "we started right here sometime in the past... now we're somewhere."

The day "The Thousandth" happens each person of MooPig staff world-wide will throw something out their window at daybreak in their time zone. Then most will go back to what ever it is they do. But many will then put lighter fluid on their keyboards, and ignite them in a sacred ritual of total madness.THAT DAY IS TODAY FEB 18, 2009
"It should prove to be a day that resonates down through history," said one office member in Dubai. "It certainly took some time for us to get here."
"We are depending on Persistence of Vision to make this work out. It will start in ZULU, wherever that is, and move just ahead of the sunrise, as each office in the time zone next will throw stuff, and celebrate," said Chief Human Resource Officer, Janet Black, from her New York, Greenwich Village, Offices.
"It's like those waves at football stadiums, you know?"

The budget has been limited to twelve dollars per office, so that may just be enough to buy some ground round for tossing out windows... but we know if it is Moopig... it will be spirited fun.
Maybe even some staffers could put lighter fluid on the chopped meat and throw flaming meat balls out the windows. Those offices who have Carbon Offsets Coupons left over for the month of February can begin now bartering them to other offices who want to burn some beef, or lamb, or pork... depending on their frugality, and imbecilic ignormativeity.
Stay tuned for updates ... Thank you for your patronage
