Into a Mirror, Darkly - Archbishop Cordileone - San Francisco





1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth 


It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded. 

When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;

when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror, darkly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.

But now remains
 faith, hope, love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love.

Bill Donohue – Catholic League Down Low Kabuki Theater - Groeschel - Dolan - Cordileone

EWTN - Catholic Kabuki Theater - host Raymond Arroyo


Bill Donohue is in rare form. His unpaid interns are cranking out the comic book screed to help illustrate the Kabuki Down Low Theatre of the American RCC of late. Shakespeare never could make this much shit up out of real history, that is going on lately in the local rectory.

I was genuinely touched by his piece on the aging Father Benedict Groeschel who empathizes with that “poor guy” Jerry Sandusky and blames the victims of child abuse and rape as forcing vulnerable adult priests into abusing and raping them.

I know that Groeschel’s show on EWTN is a cash cow for his merry band of Franciscan brothers but don’t let reporters or people from the district attorney’s office tap into the long term memory of a lifetime professional shrink, apologist and coverup-er, enabler of priest problems and crimes. Don’t let him near a tape recorder. Time to park that Model T in the garage permanently, if you know what I mean.

My compliments to the author/intern on that one. No spell check errors.


Bill will be on with Kabuki master Raymond Arroyo, inspiration to me regarding Catholic Kabuki as practiced on the Catholic TV network EWTN, on Sunday and Monday. Check your local listings.

Bill will be discussing Cardinal Dolan’s last minute invitation of hisself to the Democratic Convention in Charlotte to protect his 501 (c) (3) tax status after fawning on the GOP and all but endorsing the Romney Ryan Ticket.  I am going to watch and listen to Bill defend his drinking buddy and personal friend Tim Dolan.  Donohue will probably not reveal any yummy gossip from Tim like “what do Mormons taste like?” in that scripted kabuki interview with Ray Arroyo.

And finally onto Bishop Cordileone and his DUI this past weekend. Bill quotes I think from some porn site to excite the reading audience and paint the picture of what a Sodom and Gomorrah San Francisco is and poor holy Sal Cordileone who has to inherit it, such a horrible evil place, and must attempt it to bring it back to the one true Plaster Catholic god.

Gay blog sites have also picked up on this theme. Why? San Francisco is a city where men [read: gays] are free to walk around naked in the street in front of women and children. They can even walk into McDonalds totally nude and park themselves next to Ronald McDonald, provided, the law says, they place a towel on their seat (hygiene matters). Next month homosexuals will whip each other in the street and have sex in public at the Folsom Street Fair. This is the city that Cordileone will soon inherit. 
(the only thing missing above is the booze and the words “catholic seminary” written over that MickyD’s front door girl)

Which leaves us with questions as to how fast Sal got his boy toy out of the country under varying short term media descriptive labels (now erased), labels such as “young priest from overseas” to “foreign exchange student from Germany” to “young male companion” in the passenger seat with 88 year old mom in the back seat as Chaperone or dare I say it Pimping for Junior and or providing cover/beard, plausibility.  I ran into a few mother daughter acts in my dating days and the mom, gay son act variation too once from a relative etc.

In any case, Bill and Ray on EWTN will be great theater this weekend.  My regards to Bill’s ghostwriters, on this rather exceptional energetic cranking out the script/screed lately.  

Cheers!
