Giving Church the finger…it’s A-Okay!!!
You know, I’m left to wonder what’s next? 1-800-Dial-a-Confession?
A Catholic priest in Poland will fingerprint students to monitor their mass attendance. A local paper reports the reason behind the high tech roll taking is to lighten burden of counting young parishioners.
If students show up for 200 masses over a period of three years, the kids are off the hook for a written Confirmation exam.
Doing the math…that’s every Sunday plus about 50 more services. That’s a lot of church!!!!
The students are all for it since it means one less test in their lives. And the padre won’t have to physically give his signature hundreds and hundreds of times to confirmation-seeking students.
Ahhh, nothing like technology to inject a dose of the impersonal.
Poland is a devoutly Catholic nation where churches are frequently packed.
Can’t believe I got through this without one dirty priest remark. Go me!

“without one dirty priest remark. ”
Isn’t this National Bathe A Priest Month?
And bless you, my son, for the dirty priest remark. So it is written. 😀
Ew, ew, ew, ew, and ew.
Few of them look like the fallen and handsome Father Alberto.
…or the hot chick jiggling in front of him!
That’s a dude.
My little sister went to Marian High School in Omaha, Ne.
There they called him “Fr. What-a-Waste”.
I wish I had called my principal Sister mAnn, but it’s probably better I didn’t. Trouble found me even without a story like that. 😉
C’mon, you’re just playing with me!
Hee, hee. hee. Yeah, just playing. 😆
Grrrrr!
She’s still a cartoon, pumpkin.
I’ve reached the point where I’m not all that fussy. 😀
I feel ya.
Reminds of the girl who told me “You’re as young as the girl you’re feeling.”
But just think of the rich joke soil to plow here!
Moment of awed silence for Brandtastic!
so the church is now using the same p.r. firm as subway? when i get 10 punches on my little subway card, i get a free sub. only 200 masses, and you get a free confirmation? i wonder if you have to buy a large drink and chips with that.
Naw, you get a side of wine and wafer. 🙂
Don’t forget the biscuit.
