What's a Poor Sheep to Do?

The Archbishop is sending each sheep in his flock a DVD. I keep checking the mail expectantly, but my DVD hasn't come. I want to know what's on that DVD. The message must be earth shaking. Perhaps "Women can't be priests." Or "Gays and lesbians should live alone in closets." Making a large batch of DVDs is an expensive undertaking, and many of us who aren't sheep think the Archbishop should be using that money to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. And what about all his poor sheep who don't have a DVD player? The ram or the ewe gets the mail, receives the DVD, but can't play it. What's the poor sheep to do? Aha! Inspiration! With DVD in hand, the ram or the ewe should hop a bus to St. Paul and head for the Archbishop's office. He or she should walk right in and say, "Hey, you sent me a DVD, but I can't play it. Why didn't you send me a DVD player before you sent me the DVD? I guess I'll have to borrow yours." That's what all the poor sheep should do.

  1. As a Catholic in the Metro Area, I have failed to get my DVD too. AM I too poor of a sheep to get a DVD about how I should be? Maybe I follow Jesus to closely that the archbishop overlooks the little children of God? Although, I am not gay but am certainly happy that I have not received this video.

  2. Well, my happiness has ceased momentarily. I went to the mailbox today and because my roommate and I are listed as two individual parishioners and not as one family...We have two DVDs to dispose of. They could not even save their non-profit postage usage to only send one DVD to our mutual address. Does anybody cross reference these things? Please help us Old Baguette!

  3. Being a condemned to Hell non-practicing Lutheran living in Pittsburgh, I did not get a DVD either. I am curious though, What is on the DVD? Is it a loving caution about the Catholic Coalition of Church Reform? A reminder to "shun any contrary doctrines, and instead to embrace and retain, to safeguard reverently and expound faithfully, the
    doctrine of faith and morals proposed definitively by the magisterium of
    the Church."

    Do share, I am curious.
