Pat,
When Larry and I were married he requested me to go to the Catholic church
with him. I was raised protestant but I honored his wishes. I took Larry
up to take communion as I had done many times before. The Priest offered me
communion, I said I am not Catholic, he said, you are a christian aren't
you? I answered yes, he said stick out your tongue and take the host. I
didn't know what else to do so I took it.
Virgie and Hoshi
