Why Catholicism is cool...

Not just because it is the One True Church founded by Jesus Christ, nor because Pope Benedict is his Vicar on Earth, and because we have the Mass. It is because Catholic terms make awesome Band names!

Here is just a sampling...

Purgatory

Funeral Pall

Gift of Miracles

Filioque

Antipope

Day of Atonement

Holy Innocents

Ikonostasis

The Scourging

Mortification of the Flesh

The Five Wounds

Inquisition

Cononical Impediment

Relic

And now for three favourites...

Black Fast

In Partibus Infidelium

Disparity of Cult

Can you imagine some of these as Band Names? Perhaps some others would make good Punk Band names.
