Right here in our own backyard....no what do ya know?

Being the product of Irish Catholic upbringing, I can say that Holy Mother Church has quite a reputation for corporal punishment. Certain sects and orders practice mortification of the flesh as atonement for original sin. (Not a common practice anymore but they are still around) and of course who among us "wafer eaters" can forget the nuns and the rulers.

You show me a Catholic kid who never got his knuckles rapped and I'll show you an Episcopalian.

With all the school girls who show up at BU parties I've been of half a mind to dress up like a priest and deal with all the naughty ones.....I'm not sure how many extra decades I'd get in purgatory but hey.....I'm willing to risk it.

Hope to see a bunch of you next Saturday night.
