Catholic Church Has Just As Bad Taste In Bars As Those Kids You Went To High School With

Last night, Cardinal Justin Rigali, the head of the Catholic Church here in Philadelphia, held a theology discussion at Finnegan’s Wake. Coincidentally, Finnegan’s Wake is pretty much my idea of hell.

The Cardinal has been holding these Thursday discussions at the bar during the summer and will be holding them until August 16. It’s apparently not a mass, so if you got excited about the idea of drinking some transubstantiated Coors Light, you’re out of luck.

Part of Rigali’s talk:

“If we’ve been forgiven by God and realize it, then you know what? It’s a whole new way of life. It’s a whole different attitude to other people. We are compassionate, we are merciful, we are forgiving.”

Actually, considering the amount of jerks at Finnegan’s Wake and similar bars, maybe this was a good place to go to teach forgiveness.

    I hear Cardinal Rigali got laid after the event.

    It is a creative way to get the Diocese to pick up the bar tab.
