Fund Raiser

As Fr. Chadwick can tell ye, one of the problems faced by the Truly True Church (and incidentally, any Orders attached to it) is a lack of monetary funds. Of course, this fact only proves the truthiness of Truthiness, because we are allowed to suffer the same poverty that so many of the saints have lived in.

However, the HKTTC is in need of gold. What with our vocations boom (have I mentioned our vocations rate is up 100%?) I must start thinking about plans to build a novitiate to house our novices whilst they are learning how to slay heretics in the intellectual sense, and the more literal one as well.

This morning, I was discussing with Brother Denzinger over breakfast in the Wichita truckstop (where we are encamped indefinitely until our impecunious situation is overcome) about our options. He immediatley piped up and said we should start selling 'smack', which he apparently has some experience in. I expressed my doubts whether heretics would actually PAY to be smacked. Brother put his head in his hands and muttered something in Spanish, and then said 'No, I mean coke, esse.' I laughed and told him that the local Coca-Cola bottling plant would sue us out of existence before we could raise enough funds. Brother put his head down on the table and went back to muttering Spanish under his breath.

Brother's idea did give me an idea, however. Rather than Coke, why not another liquid beverage, following in the grand traditions of the medieval monasteries?

Rob,

Our ale be so strong that it renders the genitalia useless. It is the 'Perfect Chastity' creator par excellence!

But what about that verse where Christ says adultery doesn't require physical sin? (Somewhere in the sermon of the Mount, I believe.)

Interior sin is a matter for one's spiritual director, not one's bartender.

Cordially,
Sir Rev. Leonard Feeney, HKTTC
