I love to review the internet searches that bring visitors to this little blog. Here are some recent search queries in the form of questions:
"My attitudes toward temptations?" Gratitude is the only good answer, and the best attitude for making the most of the gift of a temptation.
"Franciscan ordination of a priest--what color is the stole [?]" White. That is to say, liturgical white, which includes festive edgings toward decoration and gold, etc. Contrary to various nonsense one may be told or experience, Franciscanism is not a separate religion from Catholic Christianity.
(That being said, Franciscans do, however, enjoy some ancient rubrical privileges, such as that of saying Mass barefoot. But since the rubrics of the Ordinary Form do not explicitly demand that sacred ministers wear shoes, it doesn't mean much. We used to get to put St. Francis into the Confiteor, but I guess he went the way of John the Baptist, Peter, and Paul in the reform of the liturgy.)
"Who is friars in noli me tangere?" I get versions of this one from time to time, often enough to make me wonder. I have to say that I don't have any idea. Is there are a church dedicated to the noli me tangere where there are friars? Anybody know what this and similar queries might be about?
Hello,
ReplyDeleteYour post incited some curiosity regarding the Noli Me Tangere so I did a search on Bing. This is the best result I found. It appears to be a novel written in 1887 Berlin. My search brought only information of friars opposing it at first glance. It's an interesting read, though.
Here is more information.
I hope this was helpful.
Interesting! That may well be it! Thanks for your curiosity!
