So Lisa was reading this week's Catholic Post and found a small notice about a seminar in Peoria next month that she'd like to attend. When she saw it cost $5.00 per person, she did a double-take and checked that it was sponsored by a Catholic organization; most Catholic activities - even "days of reflection" or whatnot - are priced way out of our league. She read the notice to me while we were working on supper - it sounded Catholic but when she got to the $5.00 part I paused - "That's not the Catholic Post, is it? Five dollars?"
Speaking of money, the Post also had a creepy article about a new push for "stewardship" in the diocese of Los Angeles. The thing read like a Pravda feature about the new Five Year Plan and even featured brave peasants boldly confronting a priest who didn't understand the new idea of stewardship. Apparently these financial Stakhanovites were eager to give but the priest didn't want to preach about money. Reeducation changed that and now he's a steward, too.
