Altar Boy huh?

Heh...

No, neither, Choir nor Alter boy.

I like Latin, and enjoy the Latin mass. Even though I'm very
Protestant.


Why I posted such, is because of the most unusual posts that "Dan" is
providing, and the follow up by "Duke Nukem".

At least Latin can be deciphered....

This information is for Roman Catholics only. It must not be divulged

to

non-Catholics. The less they know about our rituals and code words, the

better off they are - in alpha order:





AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.





BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass.





CHOIR: A group of people whose singing allows the rest of theParish

to lip-sync.







HOLY WATER: A liquid whose chemical formula is H2OLY.





HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key a fifth higher than

that of the congregation's range.





INCENSE: Holy Smoke!





JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to find colleges

with

good basketball teams.





JONAH: The original "Jaws" story.





JUSTICE: When your kids have kids of their own.









KYRIE ELEISON: The only Greek words that most Catholics can

recognize besides gyros and baklava.







MAGI: The most famous trio to attend a baby shower.





MANGER: Where Mary gave birth to Jesus because Joseph wasn't

covered by an HMO. (The Bible's way of showing us that holiday travel

has

always been rough.)





PEW: A medieval torture device still found in Catholic churches.





PROCESSION: The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass

consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners

looking for seats.





RECESSIONAL: The ceremonial procession at the conclusion of Mass

led by parishioners trying to beat the crowd to the parking lot.





RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more

quietly, since most of the people have already left.



RELICS: People who have been going to Mass for so long, they

actually know when to sit, kneel, and stand.



TEN COMMANDMENTS: The most important Top Ten list not given by David

Letterman.



USHERS: The only people in the parish who don't know the seating

capacity of a pew.
