New The worst thing about religion is the people in power.
J and her twin sister were raised RC. They moved from VA to MA when they were young and things got a little jumbled about where they were in their progression in the faith.

Apparently they somehow ended up having their first Communion before they had their first Confession (or something like that).

When the priest found out, he FREAKED OUT!!

"That's a MORTAL SIN!!1 You're going to go to HELL!!11"

Who does that to a child??

They had to do all kinds of penance prayers and were understandably upset little girls.

She still talks about it, decades later...

:-(

It sounds like you had a good head on your shoulders from an early age. :-)

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New "Who does that to a child??"

Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith noted on Twitter that Cruz had to pause his speech to respond to a little girl in the audience who was young enough to be carried by her mother.

"Ted Cruz literally just scared a little girl in NH," Smith wrote. "'The world is on fire?!' she asked, repeating his line on Obama-Clinton foreign policy."

"The world is on fire," Cruz replied, turning to face the girl and her mother. "Yes! Your world is on fire!"

Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous.
