Catholic Explanation Corner.

I uncorked the term "apostasized" during a discussion of a buddy's rather ill-advised decision to start rooting for the Michigan State Spartans today.

In my house, no less. I had the last laugh. Silly Sparty. Heh, heh, heh....

Well, here's the explanation of the term, based as it is on the word "apostasy."

I now return you to your regularly scheduled sporting event.
