On Grand Isle, at the mouth of Bayou Lafourche, a friend who witnessed the event tells Grandpère that, on Father's Day, the Roman Catholic priest at the church on the island shot holy water on the congregation from a water gun. Then he asked all the fathers in the congregation to come forward, and he gave each of the men a can of beer but asked them to refrain from popping the beer cans open until they left the church.
Posted without comment, because I can't think of anything to say.
You've got to be kidding me.
ReplyDeleteHis name wasn't Ron, was it?
I only ask because, well, Fr. Ron overdid it a little with the Holy Water at Easter so the staff got back at him with water guns. Sans the blessing of the H2O, of course...
The beer I don't know about. I just don't know.
Should reassure those heading for Rome in search of "Orthodoxy".
ReplyDeleteWonder what the good father was on.
Missy, I don't have a name.
ReplyDeleteLapin, he probably had a few beers.
Or a bit too much of that communion wine...
ReplyDeleteOr something...
ReplyDeleteLawzamercy.
ReplyDeleteSeparate beer cans? Sounds too congregational/protestant to me. A true Catholic would insist of all partaking from the one keg!
ReplyDeleteRR--Bahahahahaha! Spot on!
ReplyDeleteRR, maybe the pastor wanted the experience to be memorable, a special day, so he did something different, out of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteYou know I've gone all TEC now, right?
ReplyDeleteOr so says the Mad One!
Fran, I thought you were to be the leader of the underground cell to plot the overthrow of the bad guys.
