Owen Swain: Amateur Catholic
Look, I'm perfect for this, perfect. I was a professional Protestant minister for 22 years, now, well I'm an unemployed Catholic with no as*peration to the priesthood but a love for the Liturgy Of The Hours, my family, the Catholic Church {of which I am now officially a part} and I am a visual artist. I tell my sorry story on luminousmiseries.ca and post on onionboy.caWow, Owen, this is a new side of you ... and it fits right in. Welcome!
I have this kinda flippant yet apostolically approved side that I don't let out of the closest much at either site and that might just be able to have a blast here.
My priest says I have "a strong Catholic sensbility"; hope that won't disqualify me. I have spoken once and will once again speak at a Catholic Men's Breakfast; hope that won't take me out of the running either. I'm 47; oh just you clamp it. I'm was born in the country I now live in and have never lived anywhere else though I hear places outside of our totalitarian Canada can be nice if you have the money to pay for health care. I didn't spell check this but that doesn't in itself make me a losser. The last thing I need to do right now is spend time on another blog. However, if any of the above eliminates me I still win because I will therefore be more amateur and Amateur Catholic than every one of you.
Oh, I also take part in the group blog Per Christum but they will probably disown me after this. Go B Team, yeah.*

"oh, just you clamp it"????
OMG I AM DYING :)
yay, owen! good to see this side of you, too.........
Like thanks for the giant sized button but it's a tad too many 100 pixels too big for my blog. In the spirit of amateurism I therefore made this normal size button ''onionboy.typepad.com/AC_BUTTN.jpg'' that I invite anyone to go and download, if the Charter Amateurs sanction it. Since html get's stripped just remember to put an h t t p : / / ahead of the partial link above.
