My company did a ‘67’ background option - against my recomendation - and it has annoyingly sold well. I’d love to know the overlay with the ‘buy now, pay later’ I forced through

I think you make a very good point. Education and catechesis (sp?) could use a lot of work in The Church. Clarity, and consistency from the top would go a long way as well. I actually like the thee/thous for vernacular readings, as it is as close as English gets to being a ‘dead’ language.

If you are married, stay that way. A lot of the issues I deal with result from my divorce. Pray for patience & charity. You’ll need both, in spades.
