yup the devils advocate is a nerd...

WHO IS THIS ADVOCATE OF THE DEVIL I KEEP HEARING ABOUT......and why is he a tradcat? or is his name meant sarcastically........I would think it is....I would hope it is......

When in doubt, google it.

hea a nerd that we know.and yes he is a trad cat

you dont know what a devils advocate is????? you need to attend Fr Trinh's religion classes.

LOL.... Tom, a Devil's Advocate is a very trad thing!

wut is a devils advocate?????

we're gonna have to make a rule about all tradcat members having to know the basic steps and people involved in canonization.

are you gonna teach everyone everything they dont know?

Now I'm thinking that I should name my car. Martha the Mazda? Mary the Mazda? :)

Mary Magdalen Mazda. Or Margaret Mary. M'n'M for short.

And in answer to bubblefeet's question, "Are you going to teach everyone everything they don't know?"

One of the spiritual works of mercy is, To Instruct the Ignorant.

(No offense, Tom... we can all be ignorant of a lot of things! But then, that's why they say you learn something new every day!)

Hey guys, it's ok to not know something. Life would be boring if there wasn't new things out there for us to find. This issue got me thinking though. Has anyone seen "Fiddler on the Roof"? One of the important lessons learned in that movie was that when you follow traditions without knowing the reason behind them more often than not they are thrown by the wayside. Maybe we should all work on taking different aspects of our Tradition and post a short bit on what it is and why we do it. Basically, why is it important? Maybe this will also help those of us with chronic writer's block. Traditiiiiiiooooon, TRADITION!!! =)

m'n'm sounds good i think you should go with that edward

I like that idea, Jude! What shall I write about? Probably "Why NOT to Sing "On Eagle's Wings" at Mass" (haha!!!)

well edward, i dont personally see any reason against you naming your car but you should name it after a great person. Oh i dont know..."maria the mazda"?

I already named my car..it's "The Grey Pilgrim"! ;)

Tesla! I like that!!

Okay, by process of elimination, looking at this Devil's Advocate dude's profile, I'm gonna confidently guess that it is Ig. Since he's a member of the Familia De Erausquin blog and his name is the only one I'm not seeing on the list of "fellow bloggers"

ding ding ding you win 1 million dollars in monopoly money stop by our house to pick up the grand prize

Of course Ig would choose to be Devil's Advocate. Agnes, that would actually be a good topic to discuss. Why certain music is not appropriate in church. I await the results!

that is gonna be a really long post

Oh boy. Really, I might as well just post the encyclical on Sacred Music of St. Pius X! I may do a bit of an essay on that when I find time.

Wow..... I feel really stupid.....

But you live and learn, I have done worse, then make myself look like a complete idiot. lol I am so dumb.....sigh thank you stick-figure-girl, I appreciate your be belittling me..... makes me feel more stupid.....

Dear Tom, don't feel stupid! As Jude says, we all make mistakes!

it's ok tom. if you want to make fun of me for being stupid just call anyone who knows me and they can give you an entire book on stupid comments by me.

Can I have a copy of said book? Signed by the author of course.

since when is there a book...or do you mean enough information for a book?

no...the book isn't in print yet.

oh...thought so
