Subject: RE: BS: Bootleggers: What's Your story.
Well here is a little story that is true and may up set a few folks. It is now 52 years later and I don't apologize to anyone for what I did. I went to confession to our local priest (I was an alter boy at the time.)and told him I was going to get even with so and so because dad spent all his money there and mum had to work hard to put food on the table. He told me that he couldn't give me absolution. That was fine with me because the bootlegger was respected in the community and gave very well to the church. So I left the confessional and up on the alter to serve mass. I then received communion to the displeasure of the priest.
