An International Day of Rejoicing in the Feline Theocracy

Oh rapturous moment! Oh fabulous day! Today we welcome into the flock of the Feline Theocracy three outstanding bloggers from Europe. Erik Svane, Ufois2 and Joe Noory of No Pasaran are hearby named the Feline Theocracy's College of Cardinals. Additionally, Joe Noori is named to the prestigious Cardinal Richelieu Chair of our Department of European Studies.


Long have we read their blog and many times have we linked to its enlightening posts. All three have been very generous with their links to The Scratching Post. It is an honor and a privelege to name them our College.

Ah, college days! Drinking cheap beer until you passed out or became ill or both, dating impossibly beautiful girls and falling in love every week, wild parties following exciting sporting events; this must be what the Catholic Church's College of Cardinals is like, only lasting much longer.

Uh, Maximum Leader?

Yes, Jacob, our Syrian Hamster and faithful beadle?

Uh, I don't think the Catholic Church's College of Cardinals is quite like that.

It isn't?

No.

What's it like then?

It's an administrative and philosophical post for the maintenance of the Church and the proteciton of the faith. It's really a very serious position. A lot of praying and meditating and working to see that the Church keeps to its principles.

Oh, come on. That's what my parents tried to tell me about college. It wasn't like that at all!

This one is.

Hmm. Well, here's hoping that these three can liven things up a bit. No keggers, huh?

Nope. Not one.

Wow. Wait until our Monsignor of the Breweries hears about that!
