I have always wanted to find a Catholic reason to fly the Jolly Roger. Perhaps this is it.
Every boy wants to be a pirate, in a manner of speaking.

A great reason to fly the jolly roger. I’ll have to dig out the one I got the kids at the pirate museum in MA. and ask Mark to hang it outside. : )
Victory or Death!
Dear Father,
I wanted to check to make sure you received a check, from Corpus Christianum, for the encampment. Just wanted to make it wasn’t lost.
Ahoy Mateys! I believe someone is on to this already .. but they definitely aren’t fighting for the same things:
Also some very interesting/curious stuff about ‘Catholics Talk Like a Pirate Day’ and “Catholic Under the Hood: of Pirates and Beer” … started by a Franciscan U. priest!
Looks like Catholic boys can play pirate after all!
The Jolly Roger has had many forms.

Perhaps a certain artistic individual can create one for the October Encampment?
What say you?
How about just a plain old black flag?
Robert,
I did find the check. It will be cashed shortly. I apologize for my unchivalrous lack of courtesy.
Thank you very much. Five longsword wasters are on their way. As soon as I have pictures of the melee and “carnage,” I will have them up for all to see.
God bless you.
Signa,
Yes, a black flag will work; however, I am particularly fond of the Jolly Roger above. It has a particular name and history, which I cannot recall. I could find only one image of it on the web which was very small. That’s why I artsy-fartsy photoshopped it.
Two sabers, a dagger in the teeth and the eye patch just warms my heart.
Father,
Great. Keep up the good work!
Actually, I like that picture too. It makes it seem less evil, and more fun. 🙂
P.S. I need your help convincing a Protestant that Mary is the Immaculate Conception. Is there any direct biblical reference to it, other than the “Hail Mary, Full of Grace” part? Here is the link… http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/group.php?groupid=26&pp=10
Victory or Death? Oh that’s just so unfeeling! I’m quite sure that this would adversely affect somebodies self esteem, so I’m not sure I can support this. But I mean that in the the most constructive way of course.
And those swords – I mean somebody will get an eye poked out with those! Maybe we can find a nice computer game, with some cartoon pirates perhaps – Hmmmm?
