Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
My MIL lived in it for many years and helped build the church, hauling bricks and stuff I suppose. Irish were always good hod carriers. She considered it "her" parish church. The Msgr. is just too damned full of himself -- I told him last night about the pastor back home telling me I'd make a good heretic because I was too well educated Catholicism and I was intelligent. This dude (considers himself Rome-bound, I guess) said, "We'll try to prevent that." I mentioned I wanted to avoid the fate of Savanarola and he said that was a good idea -- I don't think he knows who that was, but it put him on notice not to screw around with me.
Pat's already messed with him -- one of the gift bearers is Episcopalian, and other participants aren't "adults."
He wore a collar and soutain to the funeral home!
