As many of you know, I still play the pipe organ for Mass occasionally. I gave over most of my duties to another (woo-hoo!) but the choir director BEGGED me to stay. I like those guys. However, the sermons . . . oh some of them are so idiotic that I just have to come home and share them with you guys.
So this afternoon, the priest was telling a personal story. He was in France (doesn't speak French) and low on Euros. But he was a good guy, went to Mass, and put 2 Euros in the basket. Then he stopped by a store, made a purchase, and the store clerk gave him too much change. He couldn't speak French. So he took this as a sign from god that he should trust and not worry. God had taken care of him.
Now, I was watching the choir from the organ bench. I was quite certain that the majority of the people there, if given too much change in a foreign country, would have taken some steps to return the money. Pantomime, lay the cash out on the counter, find someone who spoke English, find someone to write a note for you and come back later. But no, this priest just assumed that stiffing the salesman meant that god was giving him money. And then he brags about it to a church full of sheeple - who have their brains so turned OFF that they are smiling and nodding at his story. It was pathetic. Just pathetic.
Thanks for listening!
