I sometimes think that Monsignor realized that I would be a very loose cannon in OCIA . . . and decided that the most prudent course of conduct would just be to receive a bunch of wild-haired Anglo-Catholics and get it over with . . .

It was the better part of valour to hold your tongue . . . I don't think I would have been able to and it would have caused a lot of trouble . . .

I am not going through RCIA, but since I am fairly well informed and all but-confirmed, I merely had to sit through a 1.5 hour class. My BF attended with me, out of idle curiousity, and I had to kick him more than once. The main message that the others walked out of the meeting with was that God wants us to be happy. It seemed that any point I made would be too far over their heads.

It's issues like this that make one realize that ignorant Catholics abound, sadly.

"The better part of valour is discretion...'

Some Papist wrote that in Henry IV, Part I, but it is SO often misquoted!
