Reply #1: I take my elderly parents to mass each Sunday

in California. A couple of weeks ago married couples were asked to stand and renew their vows. This is done every year around Vaentine's Day ....and I happen to think it's a lousy idea since there are no doubt plenty of divorced and widowed and never-married people present who are having their noses rubbed in it. Also, I'm sure there are married couples who have no desire to "renew their vows" for whatever reason....I hate coercive pavlovian shit like this.....anyway, I digress. I just hope that one of these years a gay couple will stand up along with everybody else. I'd love to see the expression on the priest's face.
