Well, this is a new revelation. What happened? Falling asleep while serving mass? Sneaking communion wine? Pulling pigtails?

No. Some nuns blew the whistle on me and my friend for dancing with the big book behind the priest's back while he was washing some chalices. My parents pressured me into becoming an altar boy against my will so I didn't take it too seriously.

No. Not really. I believe I shared being a former altar boy about 50 threads ago. I wasn't worthy.

Seems to me that your faith had already soured.

Ratted out by the nuns, eh? LOL! When I was at a Catholic high school, we had a young nun-in-training as a religion teacher. Unlike the older ones, she had a sense of humor. We used to joke with her that old nuns never died. They were just put in storage in huge vaults under the Vatican. When needed, they were pulled out, sprinkled with holy water, and recommissioned.
