Oh, I meant on SA, but thanks anyway. :)

It's on my "Some day I'm going to LP that thing if I ever start LP-ing things" list.

I remember someone trying to LP this game on these forums but it fizzled out. I participated a bit mainly so I could submit a joke name for one of the characters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HevM-35hJUE

One detail I do remember is that our party's saint was determined at random, and we pulled Santa.

I am thinking about attending Mass this Saturday. Haven't been to church in years and never to a Catholic service. Hope I enjoy it.

Not sure about your faith background, but it can be weird for people not used to high church services. If they don't have a convenient card with all the responses on it (I have no idea why my parish does not do this) then all the liturgical prayers/responses can be found in the front section of the missalette along with the Nicene Creed. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out. Being able to actually follow along with what's going on is pretty fun.

Oh, and don't take Communion. You could, I guess, go up with your arms crossed over your chest like an X and receive a blessing but apparently this confuses some priests or you might wind up in a line with an EMHC anyway so I'd just recommend remaining in the pews.

The first Mass I went to blew me away with how cool it was though since I was used to low church stuff.

That is good to know, thank you for the heads up. I did not intend to take Communion since I am more or less just a tourist and haven't done any of the things required for it.

There are a few Catholic churches in the area so I figured I would check them all out.

Something you might find interesting, then: In Catholic Marian theology, Mary has a special place in devotion to Saints. God is afforded worship, known as latria. Only God is worthy of worship. The devotion which is given to the saints is called dulia. The Virgin Mary is the sole recipient of the highest form of devotion to a saint known as hyperdulia. So theologically she is afforded a higher place than the other saints, but in no way is part of the worship due to God alone.

would you say hyperdulia is more "over 9000", or more "yo dawg..."

This is good advice though. Meridian you might want to look for someplace that does the Traditional Latin Mass eventually to experience it. Make sure it's either connected to a diocese or is part of the FSSP or the ICKSP because you get too far beyond that and you start finding places where they start throwing Protestants in the cookpot at the end of Mass (along with the customary Jesuit.)

Once the jesuit is placed into the crockpot, he undergoes substantial change to hotdish and ceases to be a jesuit. Therefore I have never boiled any jesuits.

Question for Orthodox goons: I'm reading a history book that's partially about Russia, and there's been mention of at least a couple of foreign-born princesses who changed their names when they converted to Orthodoxy to marry into the Russian royal family. Is name changing on conversion a common thing in Orthodoxy, or is this just Russia being weird?
