I was less bothered by Conchita Wurst than I was by that lady in the white dress who belted out her song so loud, it woke my cat.

Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to bother.

It is awesome! Anyone who hasn’t done it—print out an English translation and watch Mozart’s Requiem.
Day of judgment!
Powerful!

The Dom is awesome inside when not covered up with banners.
(And the gift shop sells cat souvenirs in addition to the Mozart and religious ones)

I’ve met a few Austrians and made a few friends there. They are one of the most catholic countries on earth, only around 8 million inhabitants and over 80% catholic. Their youth faces the same problems all other catholic face, fighting a battle against secularization and attempting to find answers in the faith against today’s forces of misguidance.

Sadly, I didn’t have time for the catacombs. I was trying to see all the other Catholic churches in that neighborhood. I saw St. Peter’s, St. Michael’s, and the Jesuit Church. There are about four more I missed due to running out of time or they were closed 
meanwhile all my silly tour companions were spending all their time eating lunch and buying Manner wafers
I shall have to go back.

The abomination of the desolation is finding its way into the holy place.

They said the same about saint John Paul II when he took unprecedented steps at dialogue with other religions. [But he was a saint, had witnessed the holocaust and eastern bloc.]
And saint John Paul II said himself:“With some sects no real dialogue is possible.”
As far as “pastoral care” for the homosexuals in the flock goes, the church is yet again and as always faced with an exceedingly difficult question. I don’t have a formed opinion, I feel that whatever the course of events it will take time and we should trust the church. I also feel, for the most part this is yet another “non-issue” requiring but an act of contrition from the sinners whom it may concern. In the meanwhile, controversy is sure to be stirred up. And I do understand the complexitie that arises from mixing the sacred with the “profane” - this much is invariant across issues.
They say “there is a party in heaven for a sinner that repents” more joy for the “sheep that is found” than for 99 not needing finding.
I keep with saying, I don’t have a formed opinion on the matter nor do I feel forced to form an opinion.
