I have no idea what faith (if any) she professes, but I'm fairly certain she's not Catholic.
Well, I didn’t mean to suggest that she’s Catholic. I picked “Catholic” because it is the first thing that came to mind, probably because I’m Catholic. I just thought her comment was breathtakingly crass. I mistakenly thought that I could shock her into recognizing how mean and narrow-minded her remark seemed. It didn’t work.
I could have said Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, or Pentacostal, or Jewish, or atheist, or Muslim. The girl was the daughter of an employee. I don’t think her religion played a part in his thinking. And what if it did? This whole conversation reminds me of the Elizabeth Smart threads where (supposedly intelligent) FReepers accused her father of all kinds of unspeakable sins and crimes when she was missing.
