ROTFLMSS! Doubled over laughing. Tears streaming down my face.


GG - not laughing at your expense, just at his comments and question. Too true.

Onyx, I like you, there is a shared humor that only Catholics can really laugh at. Nuns that sat in on dances to make sure the boys and girls never touched, priests that warned of hell if we had late library books, really pissed off 65 year old virgin nuns that would beat the crap out of 4th graders, and the terror of being in high school and worrying that at any time God would make "The Call" to you and want you to be a priest!

I had a friend, a wonderful man, all through high school he wanted to be a priest, but he mixed with all the cliques and was a great guy. He became a priest, then a pastor, and had a nervous breakdown, left the priesthood, got married and is a pretty happy guy now. I admire the courage it took for him to leave, it was a big scandal in his family, but he had to do it, and I'm thankful for the guys that have the true calling to do that difficult job.
