susan s., we must recall that neither the canons nor the BCP say a word about liturgical colors beyond the white of the fair linen. I suspect the popularity of the predominant Baroque Roman Catholic tradition, mildly altered through Vatican II, is more due to the efforts of vestment-making companies who encourage us to have everything all the way to rose for two days a year.
I'm all for expanding the non-binding traditions in this area.
And yes, this pompous reply is totally out of proportion to your great tease. To which I say, finally, touché!
I look better in Advent blue or deep violet anyway. Green is not my best color.
I eschew the phrase "Ordinary Time," an heretical aberration of the Italian Church. There can be no "ordinary" time in Christ. We live in the Resurrection, which is anything but ordinary.

I did it! I elfinized myself, all by myself! It's not as good as yours, but here is the link. http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1380829687 I don't know how to make it be under just word, but it works, I think.
The views expressed on this blog are solely those of the blogger and do not represent the positions of any group or organization with which he may be affiliated. As one who spent decades stuffing down his opinions and emotions, I am inclined to cut loose here, which I believe is healthy, honest, and part of the process of sanctification in the long run. Politics and spirituality mingle freely here, along with theatre reviews, photography, and passionate talk about food, literature, and the human journey. If anything written here offends you, please find other blogs to read. I am here to share, not to do battle.

Oh. My. Freaking. God.
Elizabeth is one powerful Evil Lesbian Priestess.
Wow.
That... you... amazing.
Beyond-the-pale something, my friend, but I am not sure what.
But I love it. In the most twisted way imaginable.
[laughs some more]
Oh my... you have rendered me speechless, but in quite a different way than usual!!
I don't know why I can't see these on my computer! (either at home or at church!) all I see is kind of a bluish white space:(
someday, I'm going to figure out what these guys do...
Okay, you did give fair warning. But that was really disturbing. :-)
Scott, if you want to see something truly disturbing, check out the Dance Party version.
Your vestments are great! But are they the right color? ;-)

Well taken.
(I'm still recovering, by the way.)
Pompous? Please. I learn so much from such replies :-)
Susan, just picture him pontificating in his elf suit. :-)

Susan, you weren't half so pale when I met you! That's a very good Christmas Ghoul.
Here's how you make links:
< a href="http://www.whatever.com" > text you want seen < /a >
No spaces between the brackets and everything else, though.
Well, the black&white was the only way I could actually make it sharp enough. Sorry.....
I thought it was lovely, Susan. A touch more rouge, perhaps. LOL
A collective unwinding and mass silliness can only be a gift of the Spirit.
There, Kirstin, that's as close as you're likely to get to me saying anything nice about kitsch. I still can't believe I did it.
I can't either--but I'm damn glad you did, LOL.
You (and sundry friends) gave me a lot of laughs today. Thank you.
