The Confessions of a Gay Altar Boy
southendmd:
David, honey, I'm with you.
The rituals are difficult enough, but they kept changing the rules. It's very confusing for a child. I remember the dry quarter-sized cardboard communion wafer. We were told not to chew , that it would eventually melt.
A few years later, well into the 70s, they changed the wafer. Now it was this whole wheat affair, and you had to chew it. So, now we were told it's OK to chew the body of Christ.
Also, the nuns wore their habit, never showing their heads. Few years later, they were all wearing polyester pant suits and sported the popular "shag" haircut. Go figure.
More stories, David?

Not unlike the Pita Bread we've been getting. It comes complete with a perforation down the middle like a zipper so when the priest holds it up it splits perfectly in two.

I was raised Catholic and I always wondered how many veneal sins would equal one mortal sin.
