"This year, says that rule has changed."

Yea, all of us people that ate meat on a Friday are still doomed even though they changed the rules.

Heh.

We have a choir loft in our church. Big thing, as choir lofts go, reaches “lofty” heights, forgive the pun.

But the big organ sits on the altar and the choir sings in the first few pew rows.

I am on the Finance Council of the church and we have our big annual meeting this past Sat. Priest says while we are renovating the ceiling (falling tiles, that sort of thing), and with the scaffold up already, we should move the organ back up to the choir loft. It’ll be expensive, he says, but then’s the time.

So I ask, as I wont to do...why was it moved to begin with? By me I think choir loft are great things and an organ up there would sound mighty, as I considered. But hey, I never heard it or anything.

“The Vatican made us move it,” the priest says.

So, of course, I say well how comes we can move it back up there now?

“Vatican changed the rules,” priest says, something about square and rectangle churches.

Yeah, I used to not eat meat on Friday. I loved it as a kid. always had fishsticks and macaroni and cheese, my favorite meal.

So I never cheated and ate meat but I do pity those that did who will now spend time in Purgatory for rules that, ahem, have once again been changed.
