Over the Christmas break I received a surprise.

I found out something that was a bit shocking. Now I had been in my parents basement while visiting and noticed on the bookshelf a Douay Reims Bible. You know, the real Bible not the error filled bastardized protestant one. I was perplexed as to why it was there. Well I looked inside and it turns out it was given to my Mom's Mom by my great-grandparents. My great-grandparents were catholic! My grandmother was as it turns out an apostate catholic. It seems a priest back then had said something that my grandmother didn't like. In other words prideful sensibility took over. This was quite a shock to me. Coincidentally if my grandmother had not apostatized I would probably not be here today. Given that my own mother would have been brought up catholic and would have been forbidden to marry my dad, a protestant. Aka mixed marriage.
