Wouldn't be any Catholic Church I know about. Sounds like a "snob parish" and I would have complained directly to the Diocese. Bishops REALLY frown on that sort of thing.

Reminds me of an old joke, though. (Not true, but still funny.)

Three couples wanted to join the Catholics, and were told by the priest that they could join only if they abstained from sex for thirty days. At the end of the time they were all to come back and report their progress to him.

Thirty days later the old couple came round. They said that because of their age it hadn't been any problem at all. "You're in," said the priest.

The middle-aged couple said, "It was a problem. But we stayed apart as much as we could, even slept in seperate rooms. We thought good thoughts, prayed, and engaged in gardening, basketball, golf, and other physical activities that wore us out. Not only are we really fit, but we managed to avoid sex." "You're in," said the priest.

Then the young couple, twenty-somethings, reported. "We did all that too, and we were doing great. It was very, very hard for us, but we were succeeding. And then, last night, our hands touched over the carrots and, well, we succumbed."

"I'm sorry," said the priest, "but you can't join the church."

"Yeah, I thought so," replied the young husband. "And we're banned from Safeway, too."
