That is what I tell the people in RCIA: Forget about the sacramental pomp and circumstance, you know you are an official member of the parish when you receive your envelopes and the diocesan paper.
Welcome to the family.
Yes, well, it'd be hard to justify barring the Supreme Pontiff from membership of a parish...!
Papa,
A thousand times, welcome!
Your daughter and servant,
Catherine Grace
P.S. Tonight I went to a Mass with a glass chalice, a self-communicating 'minister', and a gee-tar.
(I overslept due to working midnight shift and missed my normal Tridentine Mass. A venial sin, no doubt.)
P.S. I sent Chico some catnip, a squeaky mouse, and a kissy-wissy.
Thank you, Maggie.
God bless you.
Papa
Jack,
True enough, but it is humbling nonetheless.
God bless you.
Papa
Catherine Grace,
Thank you for your welcome and for your generous gifts. Chico is especially fond of kissy-wissies, he can’t seem to get enough of them.
Thanks again and God bless you.
Papa
Have you given any thought to online excommunication? If so, I'd like to submit some names.
Your humble servant,
Maureen
Maureen,
that smacks a bit of drive through confessions don't you think?
Maggie,
Maybe so, but with this I will get to put in my two cents, therefore, making it worth it.
Maureen
Maureen,
I get it like being able to vote someone off the island, or out of the house.
the new excommunication by popular demand Vote someone out of the church. Unfortunately for me on a bad week there would be a line halfway around my parish for people waiting to vote for me.
Only with Papa's consent of course.
Maureen,
Thanks for writing. I'm sorry, but online excommunications would be outside of the canonical process. However, feel free to offer your submissions to Defide.com
God bless you.
Papa
Maggie,
Fear not, you're alright by me. 
God bless you.
Papa
