There's already a Spanish translation linked there too - for my students to share with their parents/older siblings who may not follow all the hullaballo in English but for the good of their families need the info too...Thanks!

Just enough snark to make for great homiletic material this month. What say you, visiting padres?

Rich, I don't think the piece is snarky at all. Fr. John is, perhaps, taking advantage of some people's wish to assume that the answer to all those questions is "Yes," but it's just a literary device to force people think a bit. I think it's brilliant.

Margaret,
I guess I mean "clever" rather than snarky. I can easily imagine a priest mounting the lectern, posing each question, giving a surprising "yes" for an answer, and then explaining what the yes means. "Snarky," in this sense, was meant to be complimentary.

I'll buy that, Rich. Very clever, indeed...
