So that idiot Sarah Palin, who in her idiocy has figured out how to strike it rich, has been busy coining words. Her latest, refutiate, which is apparently a cross between repudiate and refute, has grabbed much attention lately.
But Mrs. Palin is (or appears to be) a religious woman, so surely she would approve of the game hereby proposed.
Coin a new word or phrase by twisting an established one. The new word or phrase must at least loosely be associated with something ecclesiastical.
Only one per post, please! And no double, triple, quadruple, etc. posting!
Examples:
Real Prescience -- Prior knowledge that bread, when baked, and wine, when fermented, are predestined for liturgical use.
Virginal Birth -- The art of making harpsichords out of old wooden mangers and swaddling cloths.

What was the original word, Mousethief, and what did it mean? I'm not up with Orthodox terminology.

Answer to jacobsen: homoousios -- "the same essence" or "the same being". It shows up in the Creed in the phrase, "of one essence with the Father".
