weirdo catholics - opinions please

[Tortington]

dh wants a wedding ring for xmas - he had his cut off 15 years ago - anyway this is v. much of a surprise to me.

dh is agnostic. so the blessing of the ring doesn't matter to him - mine is blessed

so do i go to back of church and ask priesty to bless the ring? dh isn't bothered and i don['t know if i am

i know its not important but any replies would help

[childrenofthecornsilk]

You could dip it in a bit of holy water.

[nickytwoooohtimes]

If it doesn't matter to either of you, then no need to. I am loving the term weirdo catholics.

[MrsMattie]

Don't understand. Does it matter to you, is that it?

[Tortington]

im not sure if it matters to me or if it should - its not my ring

think i'll washit in some holy water as per cornsilks suggestion

[childrenofthecornsilk]

Those Mary shaped holy water bottles do come in useful sometimes.

Do you have to bless wedding rings? I never knew that.

I think it's ok. But I'm not Catholic. I'm agnostic.

Am really just posting to say I never knew that wedding rings were blessed.

i take offence to being called a weirdo catholic, thanks.

[Tortington]

cornsilk are you coming to xmas do?

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

take it into church and dip into the holy water stoup, or just bless it yourself !

[childrenofthecornsilk]

I'm going to MCR one custy. What about you?

[Tortington]

well i'm a weirdo catholic - it was rather a play on how we are viewed by those who aren't purple.

[Tortington]

was going to go to the machester one - tie it in with a xmas visit to Oldham- but i will be going up in new year - so am off to the london one.

[childrenofthecornsilk]

Agree it's what most non catholics think anyway.

[MrsMattie]

Do Catholics not have a sense of humour, then?

[childrenofthecornsilk]

oooh. Was tempted by london one but don't think I could face train journey home with a hangover.

[Tortington]

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

[Tortington]

[Tortington]

pmsl purple

[nickytwoooohtimes]

You see, I read 'weirdo catholics' and just thought "ooh, a thread for me!"
Lets face it, we are a bit weird to those not used to genuflecting and invoking saints at the slightest provocation.

[JJ]

Next you'll be telling me Christmas is some sort of religious celebration.

[nickytwoooohtimes]

Don't be ridiculous JJ!

[childrenofthecornsilk]

LOL I am tempted!

[Tortington]

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

I quite like it that Catholics have all these rituals and that aura of mystique
