“St. Elvis?” inquired our intrepid Onion Dome editor.
“Long forgotten saint from 17th Century Russia. Invented leather trousers,” explained Fr. Vitaly.
I have long asserted (as a running joke) that there ought to be an all-girl heavy-metal Ultramontane rock band called the Sanctus Belles. Think of them as Anonymous Four, but in combat boots. My friend Andy himself thinks that, to restore the imbalance caused by wussy sixties folk masses, someone should compose a Ramstein Mass, maybe for one of Cardinal Ratzinger's appearances (Missa super Du Hast a 7?). Maybe they could do it. I also have yet another pet idea that the Patriarch of Moscow should start a double stand-up comedy act; it could be two priests and they could call themselves Tikhon and Nikon: the Hilarious Hegumens...but forget I said that. Anyway, it looks like Reader Alexei has beaten us to it with the band thing, anyway, with his Onion Dome article on Russian Orthodox rock music... I wonder, does that mean ZZ Top, with the big Athonite beards, really IS Orthodox?
