(8,933 posts)and we went to church. i lived in a small town and you knew what went on and what people did. it's like they'd wipe off their 'sins' on the way in and pick them back up on the way out. go to confession and say some hail marys and all is well... then go back to whatever they were doing. not sure how you can be forgiven if you keep doing what you were doing. i remember we didn't have any food in our house or running water and yet my dad would put money in the basket every sunday. he didn't put it in one of those neat envelopes they gave us with our name on it so they knew who was giving money..... we were the invisible parishoners. when my mom died, she got a by the way mention in church. like she was an afterthought after she would drag herself to church when she was so sick she had to have a 12 year old help her go to the bathroom. not all churches and priests are like ours was. but I can tell you..... i couldn't stand that priest.
