When I was young, the parish priest rode around in a new Buick.

When I was young, our parish priest used to cruise around town in a Caddy, smoking a big stogie. I thought it was only the nuns (but, of course) who take a vow of poverty.

Ya know, with all the scandals and coverups, I'm really glad my sister and I, when sent by ourselves to church with the donation envelope, would often skip mass and buy candy with the intended $1 offering. And back then, a dollar bought a hell of a lot of candy.
