What a mess that parish is! All of my nightmares rolled up into one...

So you see, then, the confusion the term 'Catholic' in front of a Church's name can raise. What truly surprised me (I am beyond shock) was hearing that my former RC pastor (much beloved by the President of the K of C women's auxiliary) is assisting the priests of this parish. One of the other women (ignorant like so many Catholics) piped in with her statement of the evening: "So what if they are married. I believe priests should be allowed to marry". I tried to explain the history of priestly celibacy but she moved on to a new topic. /sigh/ How does one educate these Catholics?
