Catholic phobia

[Carrye]

Invite them over to your house for tea or something. Soda or whatever. Then, when the clock strikes noon, sit up abruptly with startled look and say 'Excuse me for a moment' run over to your statue of the Blessed Mother or St. Thomas Aquanis or whomever you have, your crucifix would work too. Bend down and in front of it and murmur 'It is 12 o'clock, it is time for me to worship you, oh ceramic one. (or wooden one, whichever the case may be). Do a coupla these...

Then cross yourself and promptly return to your friends, picking up with the discussion where it left off.

LOL! And if for some reason that fails, bring out the pinecones.

I was going to say that but I wasn't sure if Ben would get that. You deserve some rep for that one.

Oh and congrats, new staff member.

You forgot the really scary part the cannibalism and the human sacrafices on the makeshift altar that is also a fold away ironing board. Come out wearing the head of baal too, cause you know that is where you all got that idea of the Queen of heavenright? And have a hologram of Jesus appear right on the bread and when you take a bite of it have someone in the back yell out, stop, ouch that hurts, my leg, my arm... You might have to charge admission for the next crowd, and maybe even have matinees on Saturday

Once again, just kidding, just in case some of you are about to get upset at this my sense of humor, this all done in jest...

My sister's boss was on of these anti-catholic type fundamentalists and she INSISTED that not very many people were Catholic. That is what they told her at ther church. The company was right off the train track from Chicago and alot of people from the old ethnic neighborhoods worked their because of this. My sister and her boss went around and asked everbody what their religion was. Her boss was soooooo sure that no one but my sister was Catholic. What a hoot!!!! Everybody, except the guy from England, was Catholic. Even the lady from Lebanon was a Maronite! Her boss was so mad.

What about the beans!? We can't forget the beans!
In all seriousness though, there is a major Catholic-phobia among...a few people I know at school...or maybe it's just anti-Catholicism...hmm...
Anyways...today at AP Govt we were talking about the election and someone brought up whether or not a lot of Catholics would be voting for Kerry, and my teacher said YES. Mostly because a lot of Catholics in the US don't really care about the Pope. How does he know this? A lot of his Catholic friends say that! May the Lord have mercy on their souls, and may the be re-united! Ok...I'm about to go really off topic...I think I'll go somewhere away from the computer to vent...

Here's what you do Ben.

Invite them over to your house for tea or something. Soda or whatever. Lunch..Then, when the clock strikes noon, sit up abruptly with startled look and say 'Excuse me for a moment' run over to your statue of the Blessed Mother or St. Thomas Aquinas or whomever you have, your crucifix would work too. Bend down and in front of it and murmur 'It is 12 o'clock, it is time for me to worship you, oh ceramic one..........' (or wooden one, whichever the case may be). Do a coupla these...

Then cross yourself and promptly return to your friends, picking up with the discussion where it left off.

Or.. you could invite them to do noon prayers with you, but you'd probalby get the same reaction.
