I hope that at least a few in the congregation remembered to tut and shake their heads as the fallen were expelled.<br /><br />Years ago, when I was pregnant with Nat, my mum invited us along to her church for their Christmas carol service. I went, looking forward to a good singalong. Unfortunately the vicar was lacking in Christmas spirit of any kind and spent the whole service ranting at those of us who had only turned up because it was Christmas. His vitriole was so intense, I was only surprised that he didn't have spotlights of shame trained on us to point our sorry faces out. I think only about 10% of the congregation were his 'regulars'. His church is not particularly well attended...Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275520760565119121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-89542388229660118982011-12-29T00:11:16.760+00:002011-12-29T00:11:16.760+00:00Very entertaining Aidan!

I have been to very few midnight masses, being a recovering catholic myself, but remember going to one in Spain, when I lived there, and the sermon being a long-drawn reprimand aimed at the drunken congregation. It was hilarious. The only good thing about that mass was the live guitar music which was played. It was Andalucia after all.<br /><br />JosianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
