The surprise announcement of the pope's resignation was a big topic at lunch today. One of the other teachers clearly stated that she was certainly not Catholic because she liked change. "I sit in the exact same seat in the exact same pew at the exact same mass every Sunday!" she declared.
"That's one of the best parts of the church," I agreed. "You always know what's coming." I raised my eyebrows. "The switch to the new liturgy last year must have been tough for you."
"It wasn't too bad," she answered. "It's really not that different..."
I looked at her skeptically.
"Okay," she confessed, "I did go to an orientation session before they changed. That really helped."
