I’d happily sell splinters to the unfaithful too. I don’t think that the want for divine splinters would be quite so driving amongst them though.

Thanks for that informative link TB.

“A rebel and a saint?”

We if she’s going to adopt my moniker she deserves a seat at the Blogocrats table.

Seems like she’s a troublemaker too, so that guarantees her membership. It’s the “vow of poverty” thing that bothers me though. It doesn’t sit comfortably with my WCP inclinations.

I was about to reply to, HD … and thought I’d check on Mary McKillop …

Seems we may have liked her on this blog ….

(Mmm…and what do people think that vegetarian Christians eat at Communion, when they’re not washing it down with miracle water? Someone might want to keep those pine-splinters as stakes for the risen-again reveries, unless they want to bet that only good times will be happening during the post-Rapture torment of the left-behinds, what with an extra hundred billion mouths to feed and counting, not including the horse-headed locusts, all having read from the same book. Never underestimate the potential markets for relics by limiting sales to the faithful is all I’m going to say.)

Human,

Never mind the pine-splinters; you should have a go at resurrecting another well-documented biblical practice: turning some of the region’s abundant(?) H2O into a selection of the Coonawarra’s finest vintages. I, for one, would be a willing investor in that kind of business.

Well I for one hope that Mary is beatified & added to the already burgeoning pantheon of Catholic lesser gods.

If she makes the (highly dubious) grade then I’ll be able to quit work & make a tidy profit selling “splinters of the Holy Cross” (bits of pine bark, there’s a lot of pine down here) to stupid pilgrims. Maybe I can go to Mary’s church in Penola & “have a delirious vision of the Holy Mother” to further add legitimacy to my prospective business.

Tom, I thought that was shown yesterday. Maybe you’re catching the repeat.

The log is now playing a feature length of “The Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston.

I can even see a replay of the first quarter of last year’s grand final in the log.

Reb, you’re not a sinner either.
