Reminiscing about my Catholic school days.

[Cartoonist]

Even though I was a believer throughout grade school, I still resented the mandatory church attendance.

Mon - Fri: Get up and make breakfast, but don't eat it. You have to fast before receiving Holy Communion. Breakfast was eaten at your school desk. Cold toast isn't that bad.

Sat: Go to confession. Yeah, stand in line. It was drummed into our heads that we were all sinners. It didn't matter that you didn't steal that candy bar. Just thinking about it broke one of the Big Ten.

Sun: Dress your best. You're going to be dining on Jesus with all the adults.

Mon: It all starts 'round again.

2. Although I went to public school

I hated that CCD classes were held at 8:00 every Saturday morning ..... then church was Sunday morning ..... I never got to sleep late.

And I had the same feeling about Confession as you.

3. We went to mass on First Friday. Communion then hot chocolate and glazed donuts.

My stomach hurt all morning. Only good kids went to communion. Bad kids who touched themselves improperly had to go to confession first.

4. We had mass every Friday

And every day during Lent.
But that was a good thing. Because of the mandatory fasting before communion, we got Krispey Kreme donuts and milk when we fitnesses to school.

5. A lot of emphasis on the physical body...not important in Christianity.
