"What do you mean your Priest is married ? Proper Priests are celibate."
I had a third-person version of that conversation this morning. I think that maybe, just possibly, my brother and sister now halfway accept the fact that Byzantine priests can indeed be married men...Oi.

Dear Kobzar,
Hmmmm. An interesting question. Some people do seem rather Provincial.

Dear incognitus:

Q: "Are you a Catholic?"

A: "Sure. What's more, we're on the cutting edge. We're using the new Liturgy that the Pope hopes to see all Catholics use in the near future. But keep it under your hat, it's supposed to be a secret."

In Christ,

BOB

LOLOLOL!!! ROFLOL!!! I think I can add a couple to 10 ways to 'burn your bridge' with the bishop and never get ordained!

1. tell him your wife and you are joined at the hip and need an array of specially made vestements to accomodate her. -- uhhh it helps to bring your wife with you on this one... and sit realllly close.

2. mention your most recent stay in rehab was not too successful

3. about burning down the half way house


oh well sorry - I must go now. I do have a couple other better ones, but there are a three little ones wandering around at the moment (my roommates children).


toodles & God bless, sUSAn

p.s. I'll get back to it some other time.
