Okay, so walking about in Carlisle I totally saw a house with a Vatican City flag, but today I saw something to trump even that. It was a Vatican City flag shirt. But not just any Vatican City flag shirt. Not just an average shirt with a Vatican Flag on there for good measure.
It was a baseball jersey style shirt with yellow sleeves and the Vatican coat of arms on the white bit in the front. It was amazing.
It was on a reality-style TV show called "God or the Girl?", which was actually pretty sweet. It's about four guys discerning whether or not they're being called to be Catholic priests. The one guy has a girlfriend, but other than that the title is pretty misleading. It's almost more like a documentary than a reality show. So, the title sucks majorly, but I guess if it gets people to watch...
Y'all might want to check it out, especially if you're Catholic or discerning some sort of calling or are just interested in a show that actually has guys talking about why lusting after girls is "sick" and "disgusting."
From the linked article:
"Another participant, Dan DeMatte, said he hoped the people who watched "Temptation Island" will watch the five-part series "because it will blow their minds.
"You have this world of sin and lust, giving over to your body, versus the world of dying to yourself and serving the Lord every second," he continued. "So, if they tune in, then . . . reality TV has served its purpose and God's triumphant again. It's funny how that works.""
That guy was my personal "favorite" and the guy with the rockin' awesome Vatican flag shirt. Go awesome Catholic guys!

Well, at least its not so terrible as I thought. Still, I think its pretty annoying that they're commercializing mens' discernment of their call and their struggle to follow it....but then again I've never seen the show, so I may be wrong.
I see it as positive advertising for the priesthood... and a "modern" witness to a love greater than ourselves!
That's pretty spiffy!
D'ya know when it's on/what channel?
