Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Uh huh, that is it. Welcome to the cafeteria. Something for you, something for me, a little of this, a little of that. It is all good. Now, let's hold hands and sing a sweet song. God is love and love is God. Oh yes, do some social work, that is truly being Christian.
