Heavy Mysteries |
Once a week, Father Russell would come in for "Heavy Mystery" time. |
And you'd save all your |
weird questions for Father Russell. |
In fact, you'd make up strange questions. |
You'd take a whole |
week thinking up trick questions for Father Russell. |
"Hey, hey, hey Father! Hey, uh, if God is all- |
powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can't lift it? |
HA, HA, HEEEEEY! |
WE GOT HIM |
NOW! |
AH, HA, HA!" |
Or else you'd take a very simple sin and surround it with the most bizarre circumstances you could imagine... |
to try to, y'know, relieve the guilt in the sin. |
We'd usually end |
up with the, uh, statement, "Would that then be a sin then, Father?" |
Like, here, this is an example. |
There was one sin- not receiving communion during Easter time. |
You had to perform your "Easter duty". |
You had to receive once between Ash Wednesday and |
Pentecost Sunday and if you didn't do it, it was a mortal sin. |
Provided, of course, you had said to |
yourself, "Hey, I'm not gonna do it this year!" |
And, uh, there weren't many mortal sins on that, |
but a lot of guys went to Venial(?) City on Easter duty and so you would ask the priest y'know, |
you'd..."Hey, Father, hey, uh.." Remember guys would leave their hand up after they got called |
on, right? |
And the priest would say, "What are you, the Statue of Liberty, Dunn?" |
"Oh, sorry |
Father. |
Anyways, Father. |
Suppose that you didn't make your Easter duty...and it's Pentecost |
Sunday...the last day...and you're on a ship at sea...and the chaplain goes into a coma...but you |
wanted to receive. |
And then it's Monday, too late...but then you cross the International Date |
Line!" "Yes, I'm sure God will take that into account. |
Sit down, Woozie." ..." |
