It's as good a reason as any. Saving one's soul is hard enough without maybe a little teiglach or a macaroon or something sweet to help.

I was talking about the cookie comments about how it can help you repent and stuff. And it is funny when your pastor is cracking jokes in a homily. At least he is making good points when he is cracking jokes.

I dont know. I remember one time when he referenced a Charlie Brown comic in his homily. Another time, at the end of Mass, he was cracking jokes about a local football team. And one time, when my sister went for her first communion, she was looking serious or something and he said "why so serious?" The funny thing is that was about 6 years before The Dark Knight came out.

To you. I mislead you with the gangsta names. He said that the biblical scholar abbreviation for John the Baptist was JBap, so we were making jokes about how it sounded like a rapper name.Its more along the lines of he is trying to relate to the common teenage boy(I go to an all-boys Jesuit school).

Honestly, I have no clue. I think it is because there is already a all girls school run by some nuns in town and we are an all boys school run by some Jesuit priests. We are sister-schools.

And how there is a prostitute in almost every old testament story. And the female goddess of the Baals was protrayed with huge boobs. Plus, the whole thing with Salome and Herod Antipas. Herod Antipas was such a pervert!
