44. 2 things. 1 You need to have been baptized to be Catholic
It's the first Sacrament.
2. Mike's joke is that is the 1st thing the priest asks you when you enter the confessional.
3rd (O.K. it's like the Monty Python Sketch) Catholicism can be pretty liberal, so if you really want to recieve communion, go ahead and do it, but I warn you- cardboard tastes better.

13. How often do you pray the Hail Ronald?
In nomine Poppy, et Dubya, et Spirotu Agnew. Amen.

Hail, Ronald, Full of Greed,
Caspar Weinberger is with thee.
Overrated art thou among Presidents, and
Overrated is the Son of Thy Vice President, Dubya.

Holy Ronald, Father of the GOP,
Help us pay for your sinning,
Now and at the hour Dubya leaves office. Amen.

23. Another question: Do you believe in one Poppy, the Freeper Almighty...
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 05:58 PM by ih8thegop
...Maker of the Great Political Divide, of all that is true and untrue?

Do you believe in one Son, George W. Bush, one of Four Sons of Poppy, eternally begotten of the Freepers, greed from greed, idiot from idiot, true greed from true greed, selected, not elected, one in Being with the High Court?

Do you believe that through him all little guys were screwed?

Do you believe that for business executives and for their wealth he came up from Crawford, and that by the power of his brother Jeb and Katharine, Mother of Fraud, he was chosen by the High Court and became President, and that for our sake he will be defeated by John Kerry and retired to Crawford?

27. Why are you Catholic?
I wasn't sure how to put it other than that without suggesting a flame fest. I mean, what do you see as the most positive aspects of Catholicism that make it important to your life.
