Oh my fav line just happened with a federal judge.
Why can’t you appear on that date.
I have another case. Tell me the judges name and case number because I am calling them to tell them to move their docket.
I said “OK”
Name please and phone number.
Justice Barrett and Justice Gorsuch, 202-479-3000
Silence.
@Geoffiam In the funniest joke can I remember from USA's "Weird Science" sitcom, Lisa has become a zombie and begins hitting on the male principal. Unpersuaded, he replies, "You don't want me for my body, you only want me for my brain!"
@alkem91 You have misunderstood my intent in the original scenario. It was not a hypothetical question about one form of the Mass necessarily being better than the other, but a question exploring authority and obedience within marriage.
A Catholic family with children has a husband who greatly favors one form of the Mass and a wife who equally favors another. If the husband concludes that consistently attending together the Mass he favors is best for their family, ought his wife obey him?
Like a good bishop at times with his priests, I believe a good husband and father may exercise legitimate authority to thoughtfully choose a non-sinful option as best for his family. Those in his charge might disagree or be disappointed, but their servant-leader should be obeyed.
@justalexoki Create seasonal versions of what you have. Perhaps change it with the holidays; 4th of July fireworks, Christmas tree, baseball game, etc.
