Quote:I don't know if I've asked you yet what the "incident" was, but I can think of a few scenarios when we are talking about the Catholic Church, and most of those are unsavory.
No, no...this was a long time ago back when they still had their perversion well concealed.
Like I said, I was 11 and sitting at this lousy little fucking desk feeling my ass slowly go numb when I noticed the girl sitting next to me crying. I figured she was bored to tears like I was but finally Sister Mary Numb Nutz in the front of the room noticed her and asked what was wrong. The kid stammered out that her dog had died the night before. The nun made some "I'm so sorry" sounds and started to go back to her rehearsed speech about jesus or something when the kid asked if she would see her dog in heaven? The nun said "no...heaven is only for people." The kid burst out into loud sobs and I recalled thinking " that was a pretty lousy way of handling that...couldn't you just say "yes" to make her feel better." When fucking jesus didn't climb down off his crucifix and kick me in the ass it occurred to me that these people were more concerned with themselves than anyone else. From that point on I regarded them differently.
It didn't matter much. Within 2 years I stopped going to church and when I was 21 and studying Roman History in college I realized that their whole fucking story was fundamentally flawed.
But it all goes back to that one insensitive nun.
Fuck her.
