Terrors of the Triduum

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

It is however a grave liturgical abuse to insert anchovies into the Roman Canon :)

Anchovies or Sardines?

From jerusalemperspective.com

Today thirty-five species of fish make their home in the waters of the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River, but three types seem to be most common in the New Testament record. The sardines were a staple of the locals’ diet and these were probably the “two small fish” which Jesus used to feed the multitude. The musht fish has a long dorsal fin which resembles a comb and is today popularly known as “St. Peter’s fish.” This tasty fish could measure up to a foot and a half long (0.5 m.) and weigh 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg.). The third type is the catfish, which is not considered kosher because of its lack of scales. These probably would have been brought to mind when Jesus referred to the bad fish that would be thrown away (Mt. 13:48).

So after the Vigil - it's a grilled sardine breakfast then (cf John 21:12) ....... no anchovies.

Priest went to a restaurant and ordered cod. It duly arrived in front of him; he tried it, didn't like the taste, and called the waiter. He asked the waiter "Can you please tell me exactly what this is?" The waiter replied "It's the piece of cod you ordered". Priest replies "It must be the Piece of Cod that passeth all understanding!

When Pope John xxiii died he was met by St. Peter at the gates of Paradise.
"Now that I'm here" said Pope John, "I'd so love to meet God the Holy Spirit".

"As good as done" replied St. Peter, and off they went to God the Holy Spirit's house. Peter knocked repeatedly on the door but no one answered.

"Wait here," said saint Peter. "I'll go and check around the back".

Peter went around to the back garden only to find God the Holy spirt hiding in the garden shed.

"What are you doing here?" asked Peter.
"Hiding" said God the Holy spirit. "You've got John xxiii with you"
"Yes," said Peter, "what's wrong with that?"
"Well," replied God the Holy spirt, "He invited me to his meeting of the Second Vatican Council and I didn't go".
