Be Catholic. Breastfeed a Pig.

Florida still has a few wild boars. Once I ran across a herd of them after picking up my youngest from piano practice. Sadly I did not know at the time that that was my chance to become more Catholic. My chance to be at one with mother earth. My chance to kill the mama boar for food, then breastfeed the baby pig. Who knew back then that it was the Catholic thing to do? That it was the way to put my Catholic Faith into practice. I was so ignorant back then. If only I had known. It was a missed chance. Sigh.

The photo on the right is the actual picture they put on the now infamous poster used for propaganda purposes and which is currently enshrined on a side altar at Santa Maria in Traspontina just down from the Vatican...the same church where two Catholic men took possession of five Pachamama idols then marched them past the Castel Sant'Angelo to the Ponte Sant'Angelo, lined them up and booted them into the Tiber River. Good job, guys!

So just to clear up the "What kind of animal is that?" debate - it is a pig. A baby wild boar.

Reading Part 2 of the Amazon Doc: Topsy and Tuptim Bewail Bureaucrat Bishops who Act Like Politicians

The crypt church at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Topsy and Tuptim attend noon Mass in the crypt Church at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in D.C. It's the feast day of St. Mary Magdalene and after Mass they pray the rosary together asking St. Mary to intercede for the protection of Holy Mother Church. Finishing their prayers, they go out into the lower lobby and visit the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes to light candles, they continue conversing as they walk over to the shrine cafeteria, get lunch, and select a table.

Tuptim: Things are in such a mess. We sure need the help of Our Blessed Mother to clean things up and give us bishops who are real shepherds who will protect the family of the Church!
