More Brutally Honest Reasons the Catholic Church is Soooo Boring

If you missed my first list of Reasons Why the Catholic Church is So Boring, you should probably check it out first. Here we go again…hopefully it’s not too boring…

Monstrance

I know I’ve seen a lot of these, but I think what they are really for is to give the Priest a “free” workout when they have to lift it up high and carry it…

They really are nothing special to look at either…

It must be really hot too…

Priest blogs & vlogs

Again with the teachers of the faith! Aren’t these the same priest’s who put us to sleep during the homilies?!?

Fr. Michael Voithofer – The Wedding Feast of the Lamb podcasts

Bishop Robert Barron (yes, him again!)

 

Fr. Mike Schmitz – (He isn’t a very dynamic speaker, and he’s trying to make me feel bad for sinning too. Seriously, these priests!)

 

Fr. Jonathon Morris – (this guy is so boring, he streams his homilies on FB!)

Archbishop Fulton Sheen – (Yep, so very boring! Stop wasting your life already)

 

Saints

Only the perfect become saints in the Catholic Church. There is no way any ordinary person who lives on this earth could ever become a saint…

St. Augustine was so perfect, he partied and had affairs. All his mother did is just prayed for him…boring!

Jesus gave St. Peter the keys to his house, so he had to be perfect.

St. Joan of Arc pretended she was a guy, but wait, she lied and still is a saint?

Icons of Saints

And they honor the saints with these boring icons. Talk about idol worship!

And their always holding stuff…here’s my cross.

I’ve got a peice of paper…

They must also like to show that everything is “OK” too…

Don’t worry about me, my head is being carried by an angel. I’m OK.

I read this book, its OK.

Image result for saint icons

I read this book and it’s better than yours, but it’s OK.

I wrote on this piece of paper, and I have OK handwriting.

Oh please, stop!

Litanies

With all that idol worship, they never call on the saints for any help, so what are they good for?

Even the definition of Litany is boring: a tedious recital or repetitive series.

Catholic schools

If you want to bore the kids, just put them in Catholic schools!

First, school, boring.

Second, add “Catholic” to school subjects, boring.

Third, add catechism class and Mass, just put me to sleep already!
