Is the Sacred Heart Auto League such a formidable institution that nobody dares mention the name of this thing of ours?

1. I'll ask you about the Sacred Heart:
Why is there this Sacred Heart? What does it mean? Why did someone make it up?

Now about the club: do you have to prove that your heart's on fire to get a tow? ;)

3. Anyone can join and it's free!
But they won't help you get your car towed at all, and if you want a sticker you have to donate. They mailed me the free icon they were promoting when I joined, but it was of low quality and I really would have preffered a keychain.

4. Here you go. It's a core Catholic belief.

6. As a devotional practice it is a bit recent to be labeled as core.

7. Well, to me, anyway.
I was raised with a Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in my house, so it's pretty core to me. And, don't forget, I'm old.

8. Yeah, but since the practice kind of took off near 1700...

I'm sure that the guys at the council of Trent would have been freaked out by it. Maybe you should join the league and make a donation so that you can drive around being one of those "who live out their love of neighbor through courteous and careful driving, thereby counter - and in a sense, repair - the inconsideration and carelessness so often encountered while on the road." and pimp the minivan with a big old picture of the emblem.

Besides, a mass will be said daily for you and all members of the SHAL!

5. My advice to you is to increase your frequency of hallucinations.
Also, try to focus your thoughts on Mr. B-natural as much as you can. Perhaps going to a Live Action Role Play as Mr. b-natural or writing some fan-fic about him would help.

17. If Mr. B-natural identifies as a man, I'm not going to be some kind of transphobic asshole and...
insist otherwise.

23. "I ran twenty red lights in his honor..."
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

(...)

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, and next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

(Rolling Stones, Far Away Eyes.)

25. I found one of those cards in my glove compartment
When I purchased my last car. It could explain why the CD player has never worked: it doesn't approve of my heathen music.
