Nah. I'm more of a "keep a score card all year and only let the top scorers in for Easter and Christmas" kinda guy.

I’m in Spain so I saw a big KKK march on Easter.

Quite a few people were fanning their farts at the people around them but trying to act like they were hot.

I saw a little man who spent the entire service seething mad over the chubby gal in front of him fanning herself. He was so mad he was completely red and drooling from the corner of his mouth, and was sweating through his fishing shirt. Me and a friend who was sitting beside me had a gentleman's wager as to when he would finally snap and slap the ol' girl.

Not sure if serious, but the GF and I were watching something last night about how various parts of the world celebrate Easter.

One of the clips I saw was from Spain and they showed what you’re talking about. I had to rewind to make sure I saw what I saw.

It was, in fact, folks wearing Klan looking outfits. We both looked at each other like WTF.

Is this thread only for Catholics or can other Christians who went to church service also participate?

The lady in front of me was wearing a mantilla. I think mantillas are really classy and hers was the only one at mass. I know her and she is very nice. She is originally from Marksville.

same - nothing too crazy happened

My older son, who is the lead altar server, had trouble getting the Paschal candle out of the stand

He will need to partake in Fr Christian’s training plan for next year:

Some non-familiar face walked onto the alter during the blessing of the Eucharist to plug his iPhone into the outlet behind the priest’s chair. He must have been itching to post after mass.

I am having a HARD time believing this without evidence. I mean that's brazen.

No one videoed or took a pic of this?

Couple that sat next to me the left and the ones behind me shook my hands. Lady on the right wouldn't.
