[Magdalen] A question for you... I am curious...

[Jay Weigel]

I visited our local Roman Catholic church this past Sunday. The priest and
deacons censed everything and everybody and it it didn't bother me a bit.
You'd have thought we were in an Orthodox church! It may have had something
to do with the way this church is built, though...the smoke dissipated
upward fairly soon, as I think it is supposed to, and hung over us like a
cloud. With the sun coming through the windows it was quite lovely.
