        You answered. You don't go to Mass. You just use these homilies as political leverage. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:35am 8/4/26
        
        Would caring for your wife who injured her ankle before Mass justify missing it? - TyroneIrish - 3:09pm 8/4/26
        
        You're the one who can't say you attend weekly Mass. Now you say your wife has weekly ankle injury? - NedoftheHill - 6:59pm 8/4/26
