Then I probably made the case for the male priesthood. Mostly what I remember was being flabbergasted by the question, and also that the asker was sitting beside a kid whose parents had written the Vatican asking for Humanae Vitae to be rescinded because they thought NFP was equal to birth control, and wondering how on earth a teacher meets every student's needs at once????<br /><br />Even crazier than all that was...the kid's question wasn't connected to what we were discussing. Out of the blue.

This was probably 8ish years ago. I guess the kid was ahead of his time.Domestic Divanoreply@blogger.com
