Maddie, the anti-ecumenist.
We went to Flint yesterday to visit some friends. The plan--foiled by the idiocy of MDOT--was to attend Mass at All Saints. When we informed her that we were going to church in Flint, she said:
"At St. [Home parish]? The Rose Church?"
Me: "No, honey--the church is called All Saints, and it's supposed to be beautiful."
Maddie: [Pause, followed by a quizzical look] But we're Catholics."
