Believe it or not:
I was an altar boy in my youth back when the mass was in Latin. My older brother (sinner that he was) was also a lamb of the altar and was paired with me on a regular basis (two altar boy per mass, for those of you unfamiliar with the rites), and the bugger used to respond "My old man can play dominoes better than your old man" instead of the proper Latin response. As a devout and innocent 8 year old, I was scandalized by this on a regular basis. Of course, I said nothing to anybody.
See if you can spot the proper response here. Believe it or not, I knew the whole shebang at 7, plus other rites for weddings, funerals, etc. Regular little Latin scholar.
BTW, I have always thought that Pope Leo XIII was a weenie.
Of course, I will burn in Hell for Eternity, but being a technical sort, I have been investing heavily in asbestos stocks. |
