What would Tent Horn say?

 


"Anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable bigotry."

WHAT?

Bigotry: NOUN
"Obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."

Marist Thorndon - 1964/1965.

Brother Benedict strode around the classroom. All the boys were quiet and trying to avoid his attention. Why? Because they were scared. First, he singled out Johhny Boy and moved in close to look at his work. As he looked, his hand found its way up Johnny's short trousers. Other boys were aware of this, but grateful that they had not yet been chosen. For most of them, their time would come.

Next door Brother Leon was in the process of caning his entire class because a few boys had giggled in assembly. Later on, his hand was up the pants of a few of the 'good boys'. 

Later Brother Benedict's boys would have some physical activity: to cut the lawn in front of the Brothers' residence with scissors. Yes, scissors!

Those were the days!

I'm happy to admit right now that I, Richard (of RBB), am bigoted towards the Catholic church.

What a shame. It's hard for me to get onto Rob's blog (who loves me) from my phone. I blame The Holy Ghost.

Please believe me, sir, that won't happen. The only ill effect may be that Catholics will tell you that they love you.
