re: #9 Decatur Deb

Unlike many churches, it’s fairly easy to say what the very hierachic Catholic ‘mainstream’ is. The Vatican holds these groups (there are a couple) as heretics and schismatics. In the good old days they would have been kindling.

Friend of mine wanted to get copies of some prayers in Latin. The sweet nun at the Catholic bookstore smiled at him and said, “You look like much too nice a young man to be a schismatic.”

He had to assure her that he wanted them for historical reenactment purposes before she went rummaging under the counter and found what he needed.
