Seriously. It is 2015. I keep forgetting that the catholic religion is so...ancient. Not including divorcees is...weird.

Yeah. My mom fell afoul of the retrograde Church soon after my birth. The local padre was pushing her to get my dad (a thoughtful agnostic, by all accounts) to join; she resisted, respecting my dad's doubts. The padre essentially told her she couldn't continue as a full-fledged Catholic (communion and that whole "body and blood" mumbo-jumbo) -- so she decided to leave it altogether. But it bothered her for the rest of her life.

And, of course, Joanne is a Catholic...
