To hell with that damn Catholic Mass: “No, you don’t have permission to offer Mass aboard the Titanic!”

In a post on this blog on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, the famous poem about this was reprinted, along with the stories of four martyr priests aboard the Titanic.

Today, I’d like to draw your attention to another priest, who, unlike his four brother priests, actually asked permission to offer Holy Mass aboard the ship. He was denied. Silly boy. You don’t ask permission for such things from anti-Catholic bigots. You just do it!

However, this is what he did. So, he didn’t go along for the trip. He cancelled and stayed behind. My dear readers of this lowly blog, I know you know that our dear Lord works with irony. Did you know that it was this very priest who was the one to offer Holy Mass for those who met their death on this voyage. Wow.

I see this kind of thing happen… All. The. Time.
