I volunteered to drop a visiting priest at an ordination ceremony this morning. Just as I dropped him at the venue, in walked the Archbishop, the Provincial and the ordinanadee. All of them preceded by the band and each of them garlanded.
The first thing that came to my 'pictoral' mind when I viewed that scene was that of devotees taking a sacrificial lamb for slaughter!

The whole scene of the band and procession and photographers and everyone paving the way for the "dignitaries" was so distasteful and nauseating that I speedily departed from the venue.
I've thrived without any of these things so far and I hope no one will think of such fanfare for my funeral either.
