Quote:Catholicism is the perfect religion for drinking.
Indeed. My ex went back to the Church after we had been marred for 8 years. I would always go to the social functions. I especially enjoyed the annual parish dinner. The parish priest was the MC (only the once) He got pissed and started telling really dirty jokes.
My favourite memory is the "St Paul's Parish First Annual Mens' International Beer Tasting Evening". I kid you not. A couple of parishioners owned liquor stores. It was $15 a head,all the beer you could drink and fantastic sammies made by BLOKES! I counted about 20 different kinds of beer.Sadly, I only managed to try about half as I didn't want to seem greedy or risk throwing up on the archbishop who was also present. (it's a rare Catholic priest who will miss a free piss up)
