St. Reginald's Day.

 October the 2nd. is here again. This is a feast day that is not observed by the Catholic church. I don't know why they avoid St. Reginald. Well, it's their loss.

A lot of so-called religious people can't find St. Reginald
in this picture.

Actually, he's the one with the blue and white striped shirt on his left shoulder.
St. Reggie, as his mates often called him, believed that all souls in Purgatory should be identified by wearing a blue and white striped shirt. Evidently the 'P' on his shirt stood for Punishment. St. Reggie was a bit like a judge and knew that someone had to take charge of working the people in Purgatory out.
How long should they be there?
How bad were their sins?
Is this where paedophile Catholic priests and brothers should spend time?
Should a paedophile be in Hell?
St. Reggie felt that there was hope yet for some of these Catholic priests and brothers.
Purgatory offers many people hope.

Make of this philosophy what you will but remember that St. Reggie did get canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic church. There you go.

Wow, that was a pretty controversial topic for this morning's blog.

I think I might be better off to go and do some guitar and violin practice.


 

So long.

Is it?
Maybe you should use it as a rule.

Well, actually, it's 12 inches long but I don't use it as a rule.

Relying on an atheist like you for hagiography is like expecting a dog to explain quantum theory or Robert to write a grammatically correct post without recourse to AI.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

It's nice out today. I think I might take mine out.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Does it fold up like a carpenters rule?

He's more likely to have a carpenter's thin rip jig.

We're not talking country music here.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Why? Are you trying to get it up your own arse?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I'm glad that you're keeping your new 'pals' on your own blog.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I miss all of those 'nothing' posts already.
