Matt,
I was at the hospital today at the nurses station. Two catholic women "deacons" were giving out communion to the patients. They wanted to know if one of my patients could receive communion. I said it was ok but I thought she might have just eaten(thinking that you had to wait one hour after eating in order to receive communion). Oh no they said, if you are sick in the hospital, you don't have to wait one hour.
The goddam catholics! There they go again, changing the dam rules. When I was a catholic several years ago, the mass was in latin, you could not eat three hours, and not drink one hour before receiving communion. You had to go to mass on sunday for it to count. No one but the priest could touch the host, women had to wear hats or a scarf on their heads in church, and St. Christopher was one of the top ten saints.
Now, you can go to church on saturday and it counts for sunday. You can probably woof down a krispycream doughnut right before you walk in to church and still receive communion. The mass is in english, St. Chistopfher was kicked off the team, and women are passing out communon!
Don't even get me started on the friday meat thing. It used to be that you would burn in hell if you ate meat on friday. Then they said you only couldn't eat meat on fridays during lent, then they said you only had to not eat meat on good friday. Now I think you can have meat on any friday as long as you kiss a fish the day before easter.
The point I'm trying to make here is that the catholics change the rules more often than Madona changes her costums during a concert. This is why the catholics had to create purgatory. Purgatory is for the people who broke the rules that eventually were or will be changed. The people who ate meat on friday years ago and died went ot purgatory. Now that the rule is changed they can go to heaven. What is tha point of being catholic if you don't have to follow stupid rules and can't have a st. Chritopher statue in your car? You may as well be protestant!
Be Happy,
Your dammed to hell dad
