Pope Leo sells out US event clashing with parade on Trump's birthday

[DCCougar]

I think I like this cat.

Yeah. A very creative way to gain converts.

 

[Pyrite]

Huh? Is there a point here?

In your Post #168, you pointed out that a 250th anniversary can be a big deal.

I pointed out that the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the US Army did not include a military parade.

I pointed out that the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the US Army did not include a military parade.

So what? That would have been 1975 - end of the Vietnam War - not a good time for military celebrations.

 

[Kelby]

Good question. And therein lies the drawback, at least where some are concerned.

To answer your question: you don't.

Well, my wife sometimes takes the consecrated host to those who cannot attend mass, including my mother.

I'm not sure that would be appropriate for those who choose to stream out of convenience.

If the 250th anniversary was a big deal - according to you, so was the 200th.

Re the end of the Vietnam War: a done deal by June 14, 1975.

Bless those people who do this. Both of my parents spent their last years (Mom) and months (Dad) in nursing homes, and they really appreciated receiving Communion in this manner.

I doubt there's a lot of overlap between a Flag Day parade in Washington DC (at 6:30pm) and a Catholic event at a baseball stadium 700 miles away in Chicago (at 2:30pm). Worth noting that the DC event is on Flag Day, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Army, and has been in the works for years.

But let's make it all about Trump.

I'm sure the two events are just coincidentally on the same date.

 

[Lovebug]

What's the message?

If you have to ask...

The Fall of Saigon was April 30, 1975.

Multiple events can happen on a 250th anniversary without one being a commentary on another. I wonder if the Pope is going to make some commentary about deep time.

But Trump's event is going to be a blast! Nobody's done one of these May Day type parades with tanks down those streets since the some of the victory parades of the 40s or early 50s, I think. Despite efforts at reinforcement, in our era of universal incompetence there's got to be some underground vault or bridge segment somewhere that somebody forgot about. This will be suspense from beginning to end!

 

[rhinefire]

Trump will levitate during the parade (staged only for his birthday) like Chris Angel and America will have a new God.

 

[Fletch]

But MAGA will be standing, fully erect, when Trump’s parade starts.

Weird. I didnt even know about any parade until this thread. Now that I do know about it, I will treat it the way I do the Thanksgiving Day Parade or any other parade for that matter. I wont be watching. So, a usual, your whataboutism is a complete fail.

 

[Fletch]

You don't need to tape the events to watch them both.

They'll be running in sequence.

I'm looking forward to a chill Saturday, soaking-up the good of my new Pope and my country's celebration of its Army.

If you can watch them both live, how does one interfere with the other? Answer--it doesnt. Thank you for proving this thread is nothing but TDS run amok.

 

[Fletch]

Patriots - those who don't support trump's anti-democratic, anti-American acts - certainly do need the help of other patriots.

In fact, the country needs help.

Well, when you had the opportunity to 'help' you put forward Kamala Harris. Thats like throwing an anvil to a drowning man. Sorry, but no one needs that type of 'help'

 

[dcsports]

I'm sure the two events are just coincidentally on the same date.

It's more likely than not.

 

[dcsports]

If you have to ask...

In other words, you are trying to suggest one. Take care.

Pope Leo sells out US event clashing with parade on Trump...

Pope Leo's appointment as the first-ever American pontiff brought a surge of interest in the United States.

tRump is not going to like this!

Too funny!

 

[Bodecea]

I imagine this will be true for many. He has already affirmed the Church's stance on abortion and marriage.

I see the tickets selling out so fast. Chicago is his hometown, and the White Sox are his team.

It would be perfect in the White Sox stadium (whatever it's called now)

 

[Bodecea]

I don’t know your age, but 1974 was rough.

So was 1968.

I'd love it if the Pope just straight up slammed Trump in his next speach.

Just to see his Christian supporters wrap themselves in knots to call the Pope an idiot to defend Trump but at the same time still claim the Pope in infalible.
The mental knots it would create would be rather fun to witness.

Granted, this is a new guy. But Popes and priests in general tend to stay out of politics. I can't see this one getting wrapped up in the pettiness of the left.

Trump is the king of pettiness.
He's used the Presidential twitter account to respond to insults from random nobodies.
He's the most thin skinned person in history.

Skipped to June 14th listings on my service provider's schedule. Neither event is listed. Checked NBC's schedule and the same result. Evidently, they don't know how they're going to handle the day. But, there's always reliable C-SPAN.

Thank you.

 

[Chomsky]

How do you do Communion?

I attend in person, from time-to-time.

I also attend "private" Masses from time-to-time.

Consider re-reading the OP article.

No mention is made over scheduling conflicts.

The "clash" refers to the difference in messages promoted that day.
