Unlike Laz, I won't apologize. My comment did not insult The Church in any way, and it was posted before this thread became yet another silly religious slugfest.

I'm Catholic and thought it was cute. And I've seen you defend denominations that have been attacked, and I've always appreciated it. Peace.

Thank you, madam - I knew Catholics would "get it" because they possess a unique sense of humor.

A couple of years ago, I was watching the Christmas Eve midnight mass broadcast from St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC.

Cardinal O'Connor was about to begin this most holy Mass, when a late-to-arrive former Mayor Koch was shuffled into one of the nearer pews, and everyone noticed.

O'Connor gave a dead-pan stare at the "audience", and stated "I see Ed Koch is here - now we can begin".

Very funny stuff.
