More on The Lack of Protestants in Heaven...Budweiser Gelato...A Good Bar

First, my apologies to John Salmon, whose comment I deleted by mistake in my rampage against spam. I will address his, and Patrick's concerns right now.

Both of you did not read my post very carefully. It was not a Feeneyite position. I am not saying that Protestants don't get into Heaven, just that once there they cannot be Protestant anymore. Just as there are plenty of Catholics in Hell, I have little doubt that there are plenty of good Protestant people who, although lacking the Graces of the Eucharist and Penance, have, after sufficient purgation, been admitted to Heaven. This is not bigotry at all.

Second. There were two non-spam comments that I deleted due to their content. One was a Protestant post that blasphemed the Eucharist. The second was a Protestant post of the sedevacantist stripe. I do not tolerate sedevacantists. Their posts will be deleted.

Third. Budweiser gelato. I could not believe it and had to try it. It was very good. IF you are in the Bay Area, go to Yoogo Gelato on Columbus and Broadway and try it, along with their other great gelati. Next time I might try Durian. Or maybe not. Mango jasmine was good, too.

Fourth. If you are looking for a good bar in downtown San Francisco, might I suggest Azul off of Grant by Post (accross from the old White House department store, now a Banana Republic). It is a bit more hipsterish than my usual hangouts, but the owners are a Catholic couple with three kids and refreshingly Conservative views. The bar is cool looking, well-stocked and will hopefully become a Caribbean restaurant soon. More on that as it happens.

I've had Miller Lite Gelato before and it's also tasty. As is balsamic vinaigrette gelato (but to a lesser degree).

I have a friend who explains it this way: once you die, you're Catholic. Yes, I agree completely, everyone in Heaven is Catholic, and so is everyone in Hell. They know it's true, they willfully reject it. That way of phrasing it, while still sure to offend some, gets the point across so nobody will say that you're a Feenyite.

Well, I retract my earlier comment, though I still think that the post was more than ambiguous. But then, I'm guessing that was for the sake of humor or for shock value.

(If the former, I've totally killed the humor now, I suppose.)
