9. Back in the 70's, I went to visit with one of my friends family for a weekend.

They were Catholic and asked me if I was planning to go to church with them. She had told her parents that I was Catholic.

I was hung over like you couldn't believe. The mother came in to ask why I wasn't going to mass and I looked her in the eye and say "I'll go back to church when they start saying mass in Latin.

She looked at me, shook her head and walked out of the room.

Seriously, I want to stop in to see how the new mass is presented but I have been so compromsed lately that it will take some time before I get a chance.
