Real priests live in charity (or, Real priests wear rose, redux)
2009 March 24
Apparently, there was a heated discussion in the Lutheran blogosphere yesterday about rose vestments and probably deeper related issues. I’ve tried to find it, but only found oblique references here and here. In a conversation I had with a few people on Twitter last night, it obviously has left in its wake confusion and hurt feelings. However, I can’t find it. I have not kept up with blog reading much lately, and yesterday was a very busy day for me from beginning to end, so could somebody please enlighten me where the discussion was happening?

There’s a fairly involved discussion here
This is precisely why I stopped, several months ago, following most blogs. Lots of much ado about nothing, a lot of the time, and chatter incessantly about a lot of trivia.
And a lot of “Lutheran-oneupmanship” going on constantly, with a very healthy dose of fundamentally bad thinking and analysis going on.
Anyone who gets all googley-eyed about wearing pink/rose vestments or who gets red in the face at the thought of those who wear them: all of them need to get a life!
I have a good friend who shall, for his own protection remain nameless, who will frequently exclaim when aware of such blogosphere tempests: “This makes me want to stop being a Christian.”
I am led to the profound question: “Who cares?!”"
But seriously, how do we get from “rose” to “pink” and why is rose or pink a color of joy?
These are the mysteries that keep me up at night.
At least you guys aren’t putting up tabernacles. Does Eckardt wear pink too?
I’m getting confused.
