I am gettin’ tired of USA for hosting 8 times…..Really boring! I know, I know I gotta respect America whereas we have been living in the free country.

We want to something different, right? Well, we would want one.

Sorry, Eagle.

Tough Luck…..

Well, that says a lot about what other countries think of America and then some thought Obama was good for our country. Come again?

Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janiero and the ‘16 Olympics, you crack me up, LOL.

Thanks to you for confessing the Rosary….

Geez, Church Latin– forgotten that the Catholic churches no longer use it in their services.

I do remember getting that momma stare if I fidgeted or started a pew fight with my sister during the Sunday sermon, which was delivered by a real fire-and-brimstone reverend whose voice boomed to the rafters. It was a wonder nobody dared to bring earplugs. Me, I could always shut off the aid, and no one was the wiser. ;P

Our Father, I was really bad.

This is what you get, Paotie, when you write about confessional?! And this supposed to be a discussion of college football ratings…

Gotta busy rooting for Rio! Go get Rosary! Pray for Rio……Go, go, go Rio!

I had to pretend that I was a Catholic girl when I get a communion. Okay, Donkey…….

Hummm, The first Communion were lucky ones that they sipped the wine. It was very early age……uh-huh. You got that right.

Confirmation……free from guilty. Be good girl or be good boy.

Catholic Confessionals and Masses are a memory lane for me….

Ann, the Rosaries consists of both, the Hail Marys and Our Fathers..I think the little beads are the Hail Marys.

My mom always tell us not to look back in church lest we turn into salt like Lots’ wife.

Funny memories.

Well, as a kid, I’d go to Mass but never understood a word. I mean, the books and Bibles were always tucked into the rear of the wooden pews, and I’d never know where we were in terms of reciting whatever the priests would umm .. recite.

And it took me more than a few trips to the altar for communion to realize that the ONLY thing I needed to say after a priest blessed me was, “Amen.”

Evidently, asking, “What?” after the priest had blessed me – and in front of a long line of people waiting their turn for the holy wafer and cheap grape juice – is a no-no.

Geesh!

I’m sure that a Catholic nun would do 200 rosaries for ya if she knew you’re an atheist. The Catholics are not as big on “Our Father”, or the Lord’s Prayer, as it is better known, as they are about the Virgin Mary, Holy Mother of God, the intervention entity.

And intervention is what football is all about. Hail Mary for an interception, ummm?

Somethin’ like that, I s’pose.

The scoring system for those confessions are interesting, too:

Be a Democrat these days = 10 Hail Marys

Be a Republican these days = 10 Our Fathers

Be an atheist like me = 200 Rosaries

Something like that, I s’pose.
