Another great post. Though in my work in the parish I have been known to go to extremes to help people make God connections I don't think I would go this far.
So you won't be handing out copies of "Betty & Jughead" or "Laugh" out to RCIA participants. Pity. How with Grethe ever become Catholic?
God bless, Maureen
I always loved Betty! but why she ever stayed friends with Veronica is beyond me. And Archie? That red head must have something else going on for him cause, well, he's just not my type I guess. (no red headed super heros out there...)And between you and me....I think Jughead is a "pot head". The guy looks half baked, and is always hungry? Way too much of a "co-winkie-dink" I say.
But, Hey, I still find myself picking up a Archie comic if I see one. Still a great comic.
Jughead = Pothead. Interesting. I think Reggie may have had a personality disorder.
Maureen
I think Reggie has Oppositional Defiance Disorder. There's an out dated remedy for it, which would be a swiftly swung two by four across the back of the head. Which is frowned apon these days. Go figure?
Lucy - Oppositional Defiance Disorder...LOL...somebody's got out their book of psychiatric disorders tonight.

Maureen,
She will come to faith the way everyone else does: so she can get the free stuff (palms and ashes) silly. Oh and eventually that forgiveness of sins and a share in the eucharist and everlasting life kicks in, but not before the lure of the free stuff.
Maggie - LOL..the free stuff..never thought of that.
Man, I wish it socially acceptable to read Archie comics at my age. LOL
Maureen
Maureen,
admit it, which two masses are the most crowded each year? Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday because you get free stuff.
Of couse if you don't count Christmas and Easter because of the Reindeer and Bunny crowd who think they can keep their nominal status as Catholic by attending on those two days.
If it wasn't so funny you would have to cry.
Maggie,
Once before mass, I woman pulled out a sack of crackers or chips and ate them very loudly (no joke.) Perhaps, the ad agency could work up a deal with participating sponsors in which parishioners receive free food samples, etc., as they are walking out the door.
God bless, Maureen
Maureen, I have never heard of such a thing as eating snacks during mass by an adult? Wow. She had to have been a few bubbles short of level, or a diabetic. Did she have a carton of chocolate milk with her too? OMGosh!
Maureen,
we could even make them relate to the gospels, like tuna on the multiplacation of the fishes. Wait a minute I had better go lie down before this starts to sound like it makes sense.
Lucy - Yeah, I mean she was eating so loud, it echoed. It was between confession and mass. It was very strange. I really can't imagine eating in a Catholic Church.
Maggie - Are you up yet?
God bless, Maureen
Maureen,
long nap, still sounds a bit plausible, sheesh.
I have been having a rough week.
