Exactly. The descriptions vary according to mood, apparently.
A couple of months before I left RC, I went to Mass on my lunch hour and stopped by the office afterwards to arrange for some Masses to be prayed for my brother Patrick and my maternal and paternal grandparents. The deacon informed me that the calendar was booked into June, and it was during November or December that I approached him. I needed to give him $50 for all the Masses, which was no problem, I was never a cheap Catholic. I didn't have the money on me at that time, and so he told me, 'when you bring the money, we'll arrange for the Masses.' He couldn't get the phrase out without stammering and having to look away from me. He wasn't doing anything outside of Church practice, but the vulgarity of the exchange: money for the Sacrifice was not allowed to pass without a display of awkwardness. The Truth wills out, no matter what.
