under the weather, I would dress for very warm weather. Very warm weather....

Or the "hand shake" of death in this case. Wouldn't it be funny if people started to blame Vance in some way? My only Catholic friend is also my only GOP friend. I hope she is having this thought run through her head empty today.

The stress from that vision cased his heart attack.

knowing that mini ass was coming and wanted to blast him before he left this earth.

I damn near had to pick the nuns up off the floor when they learned my parents had only two kids. The message was that my parents were BAD Catholics!!! No, it was the doctor telling my mother after I was born that another baby would probably kill her.

My father, the gods love him, respected my mother's needs and used contraception. He wanted her alive. I haven't believed for many years.

A week before Confirmation, we were brought into the halls of the St. James school. A nun began asking the questions that the bishop was going to ask us to make sure we were up to speed on the dogma and worthy of Confirmation. This was 1952.

Most of the kids got their memorized answers correct. A couple did not. As wrong answers came out of kids, she became more and more angry. She took one kid and pinched his cheek, telling him the correct answer, while shaking him.

A couple of more correct answers and then she blew. She took the fucking kid and slammed his head against the tile wall. There was blood on the wall and then the fucking kid collapsed on the floor.

We were immediately sent home and watched as an ambulance drove towards the school.

I imagine that cost the diocese a pretty penny to keep that one quiet.

That was something that I could never watch, so I'd close my eyes. Never saw anything like you experienced, but those nuns had a lot of pent-up violence. Even my kindergarten nun was a witch, the crankiest woman ever

The biggest Catholic school scandal that I know of was in my father's grade school. The pastor of the church got the grade school principal pregnant. They were removed from the school, and my grandmother sent her boys to public school for the rest of the year.

I was forced to confess my sins at the age of 7. What 7 year old has "sins"?!?!?!

I remember that I would have to invent sins to confess to while waiting my turn in line.. that's one fucked up thing to do to any kid. And in the name of love and kindness...what hypocrisy! If a 7 year old can see through this shit show why don't older, "wiser" people? No wonder I became an atheist.

had a family that had 7 girls! Then by the 8th they got their wish...a boy!

He was and still is put on a platter by the family and my family suspected this was the case but just last year when her father died I learned my family's assumption was correct. The father of the clan thought the son was "chosen" and walked on water until the day he died. The girls slept 3 or 4 to a bedroom while the "sun king" got a single room. It was biggest of all the bedrooms. That's fucked up!

One girl in my grade was one of 14 children. That's unreal!

A friend was one of seven kids, with a boy the eldest and the youngest. My friend, who was the middle child, slept in a bedroom with three of her sisters. The oldest girl and both boys had their own rooms. The house had two bathrooms. I still don't know how they managed.

If you’d been chowing down on wafers that a priest had already transsubstanttified into the actual body of Christ, that would be absolutely blasphemous in the eyes of the faithful. Otherwise, it’s just a thin, round, bland cracker.

and they really are quite tasty. I also like how they dissolve and stick to the roof of your mouth. I just looked at the ingredients on the container and it says "flour and water". I don't why I find them tasty but I do.

I just looked on line to see if they still sell them and they do...AT WALMART! 1,000 for only $19 plus shipping. Walmart must be God's chosen supplier of all things Holy. I wonder if My Pillow Guy knows about this deal. Maybe he could get in a new line of business and start his own brand since he is hard up for cash now (so he claims).
