21st-century ecumenism?

After enjoying a hearty laugh over the ludicrous blasphemy seen on the flyer above, (outrage isn’t worth the bother), your Tatler, chewing on the matter a bit, realized the last sentence overleaf: “Yes, we are awesome,” serves nicely as a credo for the increasing number of secular religions springing up over the years, filling the void as people abandon God. That is especially true and ironic when considering the correct meaning of the muchabused word awesome: inspiring reverential fear, which in this case, appropriately, is in themselves.

Still, one must give a tip o’ the hat to those pot dealers attempting to meld their oh-so-contemporary enterprises with our Holy Mother and her Church, via audacious dialectic synthesis (sort of). Bravo, dudes.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
