Would it be like donut shoppery?
How long was the church service?
The quick-stop into donut shops and back out (with coffee, etc.,) became something of a tradition due to brevity of the visit?
The news article linked to from what was posted from 'LifesiteNews' article at heading of this thread;
has additional info.
It would be difficult for me to single out only a few paragraphs to re-tell the story as it's laid out in that article.
But after reading it, I can see better how the suspension came about.
The details, for me, raise this question;
How to open things up where an officer could attend a few(?) masses a year without opening a door that would be used, then eventually abused (by other officers doing whatever -- "hey-- I had to go home and mow my yard" etc.,) ?
How to keep from paying an officer to attend church (any church, anywhere) for that matter?
For religious purposes, could there be a carve-out? A way for say, an officer to pre-declare days and times when he would be officially "off" duty for around an hour, or a little more -- while stipulating too where he would be --- and be still fully available to respond to official calls of duty at a moment's notice? Perhaps an officer's pay could be officially adjusted to reflect the time spent "off" being more fully "on duty" compared to being in effect, possibly "on-call" and available for duty?
If that could be worked out )shssh( quietly now... how to keep muslims from making that kind of thing into a great big pain in the neck?
