Parish

1. Does the neighborhood of St. Nick's parish seem oppressive or does it seem warm to you?
2. Consider people's fidelity to Bertucci's - or Ben Bohac's encouragement to borrowers that they should pay off their loans early. Why would people insist on such obviously inefficient and unprofitable courses of action?
3. How can nepotism be a good thing for employers and employees?
4. Does the kind of authority of a Msgr. Fennessy really require the kind of authority of a Fr. Lynch to support it? Does a good athlete require the sadistic gym teacher?
5. Why would someone join a convent and "never think about the restrictions"? I don't mean that their religious devotion leads them to yearn for the vows. I mean simply that they don't make any difference.
