Not that this really has anything to do with anything but me and my husband were just having an argument about who is more Catholic between us.

He's all tied up in his Irish roots (our last name is Connelly as it says in the header to each of my stories... yes Jennifer Connelly, like the actress, lol). His dad was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school the whole nine yards.

His mom is not Catholic so right there he's screwed. He's never been baptized and, as far as I know, attended mostly Baptist churches as a kid (on the rare occasion he went). I asked if he'd ever even been to a Catholic Mass and he said yes.

Now my dad is also Catholic (well, was, he's agnostic now), Catholic school all through until he graduated high school. One in a long line of Polish Catholics (with some German and maybe some Irish thrown in for good measure). My mom was non-denominational (guess I'm screwed, too, lol). But I have the whole 13 years of Catholic schooling on my side--kindergarten all the way until I graduated high school from an all-girl school complete with the plaid skirts and white blouses and knee socks (that had him drooling and wanting to know if I still had my uniform somewhere... men). Because of that I went to Mass every week (at least from 2nd grade on), had religion classes every day, etc. I've never been baptized, though, so didn't do any of the Sacraments.

I say I win since I have all the schooling and churching on my side. He says being Irish Catholic trumps all that.

Yes, we argue about stupid shit. Neither of us are religious (I'm atheist, he's apathetic) and have no intentions of going to church.

Ok, I'm done rambling now. Back to editing.
