Tom Snare waited for her at the top of the stairway. Nancy
had stopped to put on a shirt to cover her bare shoulders.
“Then you’re properly dressed,” he said, “let’s get in”
Inside it was cool and dim. Some small lights were burning
under a painting of Virgin Mary. They found some free seats in the back.
The priest with his back towards the
congregation was singing the liturgy from the altar.
At the end of the mass, the congregation rose from their
seats, saying a prayer. Then it was over and everybody walked towards the big
open door.
“I always enjoy going to Catholic mass,” said Tom, “it’s a fascinating
show.”
“The Catholic Church remains the same. No female priests, monks and nuns suffering in celibate.”
“You can always trust the priest, he keeps on telling the
same tales and the same lies as always.”

Ha! Oh yes, one person you can trust. ;)
