At my father's funeral last year, which was Catholic (which I am not), I took communion in his honor, and apparently you're supposed to swallow the wafer right away. So as I'm walking back to my seat, looking (I thought) appropriately pious, the priest says loudly, "Ma'am!!" Hmmm, I thought...again, louder, "MA'AM!!!!!" I look over. He says to me, "SWALLOW IT!!!" He's YELLING at the DECEASED'S KID. I immediately remembered why I'm not Catholic. A**ho**.

Rath - that is UN believable.
Maybe he was just having a flashback to his last encounter with the alterboy......

Shamrockboy, how the hell would he know if I was "eligible" anyway? And besides, I don't think in either case God would have really wanted him to be yelling at me at that moment.

Technically, I'm Catholic, but I stopped receiving Communion at my grandfather's funeral when the priest explained, during the service, that the only reason my grandfather's soul was going to Heaven, was because he was Catholic.

I was an alter server when I was in the 6th grade or so, and I stopped because the priest and his priest-like homies started yelling at me for forgetting to ring the bells once during service. I was scarred.

that priest might care what you wear to church, but I bet you Jesus doesn't care. And, if we are all going to be Christ-like people (yes, even your Jewish butt, Matt G), I think we need to stop worrying about what people are wearing to the theatre.

Rath - Catholics have an interesting way of only being willing to share if you belong to their club. Kind of like Mel Gibson saying he loved his wife, but he was sorry she wouldn't go to heaven because she's not Catholic. It's an exclusive group, and you have to know all the rules and regulations to be initiated - but as we know, you're not welcome to even apply, so I wouldn't worry too much about what they are or are not willing to share with you.
If it's any consolation, I'm sure your father wouldn't have minded

The thing is, this priest didn't know if I was a practicing Catholic or not. For all he knew, I could have gone to confession three times that day. I'm telling you, they can smell it on you.

Im Roman Catholic.... I can tell you honestly, my priest really doesn't care what you're wearing (as in, if you're dressed up or dressed really casually... if you're dressed indecently he'd have a problem).... all he really cares is that you're there.

Why not? The priests do. I actually played the organ at a church in Virginia where the priest dressed for Easter service in a Superman outfit - very surreal.

I must be from the old school because I never wear jeans to the theater. I usually wear a dress or skirt or if it is a matinee I will wear nice slacks and a jacket. The theater is something special.
