Bull****! You said, "...your stinking religion..." I am Catholic, and
have probably said so in the
group, or at least implied same. In any case, you've undoubtedly got the
information in your
'rec.boats data base'.


I find Catholicism amazing, if only for the way it takes what could be a
half hour wedding ceremony and turns it into something else entirely. At
the last one, my wife and I heard "with Jesus", "in Jesus", "for Jesus",
etc. so many times that we really wondered exactly who was getting
married - the bride & groom, or one of them to Jesus, in absentia. And,
we got some terrific leg exercise. Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit
down, stand up, sit down....at least 1000 times.

The reception was held in the large meeting room of a local gun club,
which made for some interesting humor.
You should have been around in the good old days when you had to kneel at
least a third of the mass...and when I was a kid there was no plushy
padding for your knees.

You got more of a workout at mass than you did at the gym.
