Don't knock it.

Are you missing the word "during"?

That happens pre-mass, behind the curtain.

I was never an altar boy. I have good survival instincts. Something seemed wrong when little Billy McCarthy told me how great it was to be an altar boy because you got the special “Liquid Wafer” before mass.

Huh. Catholic doctrine holds that you must be a member of the Catholic church in order to take (their) communion? (Versus being baptized?)

You wouldn't understand- it's a Catholic thing.



then some---
There's a whole sacrament involved- First holy communion. Plus, you have to be free of sin- confession.

I was at a mass recently and had the same reaction except for knowing stuff by heart. But I can't take communion because I haven't been to confession since shortly after entering puberty. My deathbed:
"Forgive my father for I have sinned- it's been 70 years since my last confession."

Anyway, at this wedding some frineds who I know aren't Catholic got in line from the row ahead of me. I was torn thinking whether I should go warn them that if they ate the host, they would be guilty of a mortal sin. I decided not too when I realized that if i was sure it was a sin, my ass should be in the line.

I've seen some priests invite non-Catholics to take the host at weddings. It was very clear that those of us who hadn't been to confession since 1987 were not off the hook, though, and we should feel very, very bad that we couldn't eat our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Amen.

Between my sons' two schools, there are at least three Gideons. That's right. Three.

Where does Calvin fall in current tastes? This is currently under consideration for a gestating nephew. It was a great-grandfather's name.

Since I come from an incestuously close family, we're allowed to give opinions on baby names.

I had a similar wedding; Catholic w/o a mass. I simply told him that there would be many non-Catholics in attendance, and he suggested that we dispense with the mass.

I used to despise Catholic full-mass weddings until I got into the whole ritual cannabalism aspect of it. Now, I gobble the body and blood of Christ with my half-Jewish mouth while gleefully recalling how well we made that blood flow in Passion of the Christ.

We are the chosen people, after all.

That's the icing on the cake.

Yeh, but that’s no matter. All sins are forgiven. If you don’t feel like going through the conversion, just confess to God that you wish were a Catholic but were too lazy on your death bed and you’ll get all the benefits. Everybody should confess their sins and ask for forgiveness when they get old. Why not hedge?

Do you know if it's sold any place where you can get a sample? It's sounds intriguing (as does the scent dtb mentioned) but I'd hate to shell out that kind of money and find out it smells like eau de stripper on me.

The one I mentioned is sold at Barney's, Bloomingdales, Bergdorf's (basically, all department stores beginning with "B".) It's not as expensive as Creed. I think it's about $100 for a decent-sized eau de toilette.

(This shilling reminds me of something my older boy said a few weeks ago: "Mom, why don't you get Verizon Wireless? With Verizon Wireless, you can call anywhere in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico for one low monthly price!")

I have GOT to get this kid on television.

No such thing as a 6' 11" jew. Goliath was on the other side.

Married to Jew. I wonder if I had married a Catholic, maybe she be a little more faithful.

Did you hear the advance bits on Sarah Silverman’s new stand up movie? She’s does this crazy bit about how she’d crucify Christ all over again. That chick is going to get some serious hate mail... BTW, she is fucking hysterical, if you haven’t heard her stuff already...
