Back in the day when I used to think going to mass made me a better person, I’d always enjoy going to different churches in the city and trying to find the worst priest. Now this was no simple contest. I would judge these men on things like who had the most pointless homily, or longest mass and lowest tolerance for crying children(a person fav). But one of my all time most enjoying categories was their singing. It always ranged from the mildly talented to the tone deaf and painful.
For all of these men I think someone should produce a new reality show called….wait for it…..
VATICAN IDOL!!!
All the clergy participate in this contest across the globe. First, starting on a local level and eventually moving up to regional, state/province wide, and then national. Singing hits like “Though the mountains may fall”, “Eagles wings” and more, all classics from the Catholic Books of worship.
Its really a battle to see who’s the best of the worst. The only thing I can’t decide on, is what the grand prize should be. I’m thinking the winning priest should go straight to being a bishop or cardinal…or a week’s sin-a-palooza at Hedonism in Jamaica or anywhere in Vegas. All expenses paid and full forgiveness awarded at the end of his stay.
NBC, CBS, ABC or FOX please call me. Lets make this happen.
