I quit updating that. If you want to read my various vanities, use keyword “dangus.” :^)

... btw, I give you the credit for pulling back and recognizing the need to lighten up slightly.

OK, tax-chick too.

No! I didn’t mean that YOU needed to back off, I meant that WE needed to lighten up!

The only whore burnt was the religious Temple...NOT the city.

Not coincidentally, the Temple was where the Temple Sanhedrin sat, who were the men who condemned Our Lord and handed him over to Pilate.

As for the rest of the city, you're very much wrong ... on this, and much else. Read up on Aelia Capitolina.

4. There have been two great propigators of the myth that the pope is the whore of babylon: Luther and Ellen Gould White.

Don't forget Dave Hunt.

I meant the two great sources of the myth. Dave Hunt is just an ignorant, sensationalist blow-hard.

Sorry - 8 Mass’s - can’t count here - Sat 5p; Sun 0715a; 0815a; 0930a; 1045a; noon; 0100p; and 5p.

No crypt and all in English w/ a very reverend NO Mass (except the hymns - sigh - which is why I try to attend early Mass where there’s none). We have 4 Mass’s daily with confessions after noon Mass. It’s a moderate sized Church, Romanesque and has maintained the ancient within. Our PP follows the Magisterial obediently w/ no additions or subtractions. Our priests are excellent. I don’t really know if they’re from the right or left. They’re just Catholic.

Just because you can’t understand something doesn’t make it wrong.

That's true. However, just because you're a woman doesn't mean you can't understand things. Or vice versa.

And thank you, they are swell. I'm very pleased you had a healthy family.

Agreed...:) I was being sarcastic with that remark more than anything to be honest.

Yes..God did bless me with children. My oldest son is 35 and was in Iraq for a year. My middle son is 31 lost a good deal of his right hand at 9 yrs. old but is a machinist and a go getter and my daughter is 28.. just got married. 6 grandkids...It is scary what they may see.

If you don’t know, they’re probably very good.

Mass times only an hour apart? Usually Sunday masses last just under an hour, give another 15 minutes for overtime, and fifteen minutes to clear out one crowd and bring the next one in. Just like the Sweet 16. :^)

Yes, I checked the schedule which is when I discovered it was 8 and not 9 Mass’s. I live in a village so most people walk to Mass. There’s a lot of parking as well being Sunday. Yes, our priests are great :)

My oldest daughter is going into the Coast Guard this summer, if she passes her medical exams next week. An exciting new phase!

Usually Sunday masses last just under an hour

Really? We have Sunday Masses 2 to 4 hours apart (9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 5:00), and we always get behind, like an overscheduled medical practice. The 1:00 p.m. often can't start until 1:30, because Father needs to eat (or pass out) after the 11:00, and the congregation can't get into the parking lot. Usually whatever goes on in the church from 3:00 or so clears out in time for the 5:00 to start at 5:00, but not always.

Y'all must have small congregations or something.
