Making Johnny Reb Catholic Just Requires Imagination!!

I am adding this very good Catholic blog to my links. That is Five Sticks Day.. A pretty funny entry here at Catholic Outreach, Southern Style. Besides bringing up the obvious point of making sure Mass times do not clash with the local fishing forecast he states:

My point is that the name of the local parish can have an influence on whether or not Billy Bob ever sets foot there.
Based on a quick Google search, I found that two Southern parishes have done a fine job in selecting their names, whether intentionally or not. I’m talking about Saint Cletus Catholic Church in Gretna, Louisiana and Saint Clement parish in Calhoun, Georgia. Cletus and Clem sound like good ol’ boys. The kinda fellas you might want to go fishin’ with. Name the parish after either of these men, or even both – Saints Cletus and Clem Catholic Church, for example – and we Southern boys will feel right at home, or at least feel much more welcomed. (If you don’t know, Sts. Cletus and Clement were the third and fourth Bishops of Rome, respectively – early Popes that sound like they’d fit right in here in the South.)


Warning though he is a Georgia fan and I expect them to become more unbearable(Yes they and Coach Perfect are still whining over there after LSU went to the big Game) till LSU whoops their butt in Tiger Stadium this year. However besides that glaring character flaw good blog.
