Our weekly bulletin list our priests with Rev preceeding their names.

On topic, I was very disappointed with our (Catholic) church this election cycle. The Sunday before the elections, I knew the sermon wouldn't contain the name of the candidate Catholics should support, but I expected to at least hear some words about the sanctity of life, a Catholic's duty to live their faith in the public arena, etc... What did we get? A guest priest from an inner-city parish speaking in broken English, asking for donations to support his parish.

Don't get me wrong. We always support our sister parish as generously as possible. But this wasn't the time. This was the week to motivate Catholics into voting their faith.

Very disappointing.

It was the Feast of All Souls. You shouldn't have even had that. All Souls in my parish is almost a solemnity.

[exasperated sigh out of Des] How are the faithful supposed to learn the faith if THE CLERGY WON'T TEACH IT!!!!!!

Rant off.
