My Crazy Parents - 5 - Our Lady Of Blessed Vindictiveness
After 35 years at their local Catholic Church my parents have moved on down the road - to another Catholic Church.
My mother apparently was miffed at how their long-time parish handled the funeral of her mother last year. So she's taking her business elsewhere.
But here's the crazy part - SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO TO CHURCH and hasn't for years, only my father attends mass regularly.
So essentially SHE told him he had to go pray (for her?) somewhere else!
I just don't get it. One doesn't, or shouldn't, go to church based upon the imperfect HUMAN minister. That detail should be mostly irrelevant in the larger scheme.
And I know for a fact that my angelic grandmother wouldn't have given two hoots about the alleged *mishandling* of her funeral.
Lastly, now what are we going to do with my vindictive mother when her time comes?
A *burial at sea*?
