The other day I posted about sending a Combat Rosary to Fishwrap‘s Michael Sean Winters, who had had a little nutty about “militaristic” imagery. I wondered whether or not MSW would acknowledge receipt.
Today, I see that he responded! HERE
Lastly, Fr. John Zuhlsdorf has been speculating about how I would respond to his gift of a “combat rosary” to me. It arrived Tuesday. I do not have Father’s mailing address so I shall communicate to him here:
Dear Fr. Zuhlsdorf,
Thank you for the gift of a rosary. I pray the rosary using one my dear beloved grandmother of happy memory gave me, and she was combative enough for the three of us.
Kind regards,
Michael Sean Winters
First, I’m glad that he received it. I’m delighted that uses one. Coincidentally, I had written: “I hope Winters decides to use the Rosary… or dig out the old chaplet that perhaps his, I dunno, grandmother had. So long as he uses one.”
So, who was right in the poll? It appears that the 3%! “Yes, publicly, with a kind note of thanks.”
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.Frankly, I find his response to be not only kind, but charming. As a matter of fact, it inclines me to consider not picking on him any more…

Nahhh.
Finally, I thought I had included my return address. No matter. FWIW, MSW: My return address is always on the sidebar. Feel free to drop a Christmas card and I’ll return the favor.
