With
massive celebrations planned around the world, that will involve
billions of people and cost trillions of dollars, for Saint Archduke
Sir Harry Moore Emeritus's birthday, the Vatican has decided to join
in.
Pope
Francis has approved the promulgation of the decree for the
cause of beatification of his predecessor Pope Paul VI and
of the Wuxi Expat Saint Archduke Sir Harry Moore Emeritus (SASHME).
The approval was announced Saturday.
The
beatification ceremony is scheduled to take place October 19,
2014, at the conclusion of the III Extraordinary General Assembly of
the Synod of Bishops on the family.
Pope
Francis made a point of promulgating the announcement before SASHME's
birthday on May 22. “I understand that seven billion people around
the world celebrate his birthday, and I believe that it is one of the
few celebrations in this world in this day and age that God would
approve of.”
The
beatification is the third step in SASHME's becoming the first ever
double saint, alive or dead. Currently, SASHME is the first person
to ever to be canonized while not dead.
After
he is beatified in October 2014, SASHME will be referred to as The
Blessed Saint Archduke Sir Harry Moore Emeritus.
The
extraordinary general assembly to be held at the time of SASHME's
beatification will determine whether the canonized Blessed Archduke
Sir Harry Moore Emeritus will be referred to as Double Saint Archduke
Sir Harry Moore Emeritus or Saint to the Power of Two Archduke Sir
Harry Moore Emeritus.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, we were so poor that
ReplyDeletewe couldn't afford a transistor radio. So we used to
go downtown to the music shop, sit in the street, and hum along to Burt Bacharach.
A "music shop"? Luxury!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, we were so poor.........
At St Pauls, a newspaper reporter asked me about this fellow, this Harry Moore chap, with "live double saint status".
ReplyDeleteReplied that I'd come across him once or twice. But I gazed into the far-off distance,
sighed, then said no, I never really 'knew' him.
When I was young, we did have musical instruments at home. Unfortunately, I didn't know they were supposed to be used for making music. My father used a guitar to beat me over the head whenever I drank toilet water. My mother used to stab me in the kidney with a violin bow anytime I wet myself.
ReplyDeleteThat maybe explains why I live in Suzhou.
I was splashing some refreshing toilet water on my face last night.
ReplyDeleteBut then the lid suddenly fell down on my head.
