I couldn't say one now...still a little dizzy.

Give me a few minutes.











Hours.

Don't worry. I couldn't even say one when I was forced to go to confession as a kid. All I could remember was "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed are thou amongst women..............." Make up the rest or throw in an Amen.

I AM impressed. Sixteen years in the Catholic church and I never learned it.





OH MY GOD!!!!! ARE YOU A PRIEST????????????????


























THUD!

SNARF!





Highly amusing ma'am!









It's so drilled in my head..that and the Lord's Prayer and the Act of Contrition...and the ..uh....forgot,but it starts....I believe in God the Father..Creator of Heaven and Earth...



Believe me..I got so many of these as penance I will never forget them.

I should have lied in the booth.

My best friend and I used to sit in the pew before we went in and make up what we would say. We were good kids so we didn't have anything to confess. One week I'd say I had fought with my brother and the next she'd take that one and I'd say I fought with my sister. I didn't have to attend Catholic school though. Lucked out there. You?

Me,too....just cathecism.


This is so true:



I told a priest that I ate meat on Friday.


He almost herniated right there in the booth..."WHAT!?...there's a store on every corner...no excuse."




I wanted to tell him..."HEY!....I'm like 7 friggin years old...I ain't got no money...it's my Mom's fault so go yell at her...FOOL!"



But I didn't.

My friend would get so scared she'd cry before going in. I never took it seriously because it didn't make any sense to me. I thought God knew everything you did so why did I need a middleman.

So what we have learned here is that as children we were taught to lie in the name of God. No wonder I left the Catholic church.

it's funny, we used to make up stuff too. you almost felt guilty if you had nothing to say--go figure, catholics and guilt...so, in essence you were 'sinning' by making up a sin, since you felt you must have done something wrong!! how bad must i be, i've sinned and now don't even remember?!?!
ah, so glad those days are over and done with.
