Kind words

The irrepressible Fr. Dwight Longenecker writes:

I also got the kooky email from the guy who was down on Yahoo because it is a blasphemous version of the Holy Name.

I saw your response and had a good chuckle. As a layman you can say what a priest likes me wishes he could say.

I don’t know if you have followed the development of my various alter egos on my blog. They are comical and satirical monologues. There is Mantilla the Hon a feisty Spanish gal who comments on ecclesiastical gear; The Vicar–a twit of an Anglican clergyman; Caitlin O’Rourke- a tomboy Catholic eight year old; Todd Unctuous–an extremely stupid main stream media reporter, and the incident with the goof who mistook Yahoo for some sort of conspiracy theory has spawned Duane Mandible–a right wing conspiracy arch conservative Catholic kook.

Anyway, come over and see them, and see if your readers might be interested.

Thanks for all your work Mark, you’re doing a great job. I’m doing RCIA again at St Mary’s and your Mary books are top of the list.

Anybody who can come up with a name like “Duane Mandible” is alright in my book. And speaking of books, every parish should do like Fr. Dwight and put Mary, Mother of the Son at the top of their RCIA reading list.

And speaking of Mary, Mother of the Son, a reader sends along a link to her very nice review of Volume I. She will be posting more as she makes her way through the trilogy. Much obliged!

You know, there could hardly *be* more appropriate Advent and Christmas reading than a whole trilogy on the woman whose “Yes” made Christmas possible. The perfect Christmas gift if you ask me. And did I mention I’ll sign it when you order it right here?
