I’ve written before about some of the amazing Catholic pick-up lines out there (Part 1|Part 2)…but here are some more!

I haven’t posted either a Ryan Gosling Meme or a Catholic pick-up line in quite a while, so I decided it was time to kill two birds with one stone…
A few weeks ago I compiled the list of “Top Twenty Catholic Pick-up Lines” (Part 1, Part 2). Did you wonder what it might be like if somebody incorporated them into a song? Well, wonder no more! Thanks to Jenna for bringing this video to my attention.
(The song begins about about the 1:10 mark)
As I was watching this I realized that a lot of these lines aren’t new, they’ve been used at least since ever there was a Romeo and a Juliet…
Romeo: “If I profane with my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss”
Juliet: “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss”
Romeo: “Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?”
Juliet: “Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer”
Romeo: “O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair”
Juliet: “Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake”
Romeo: “Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take.Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged…”

The last set of Catholic Pick-Up Lines seemed to be rather popular so I thought I would do it again for this week’s Friday Frivolity 🙂
However, last time I could tell from the website statistics that an awful lot of people read the post but didn’t vote on their favourite pick-up line! Come on people! Vote!
Science, or rather, my love life, is depending on you!

I’m currently in the middle of writing an introductory post about the “Early Church Fathers” and I came across a wonderful quotation from one of my favourite Fathers, the great preacher, St. John Chrysostom:
“An intelligent, discreet, and pious young woman is worth more than all the money in the world. Tell her that you love her more than your own life, because this present life is nothing, and that your only hope is that the two of you pass through this life in such a way that, in the world to come, you will be united in perfect love” – St. John Chyrsostom
Wonderful stuff! But how exactly does one find this woman?! Unfortunately, this amazing preacher and Father of the Church does not tell us! Do not fear! I have stepped into the breach and have compiled my definitive list of the “Top Ten, All Time, Catholic Pick-Up Lines”!
Please feel to add your own suggestions in the comments 😀
