Designer Communion Dresses

I was in the store yesterday and this kid came in with her parents she was in her first communion gown, the thing looked like it was made by a designer Coutre high! a switch to one. As you yourselves know its often said, is something like "Welcome to the faith" or to give them some money so I gave the shop keeper of a five-pound note and told ( gently) to get her and the ice creams or parents everything they wanted. On the way father coughed and covered her mouth "peado he said as I passed. Bastrd Unaware I've never felt so ashamed to be a human or a Catholic all my life. When I I made my first communion, I wore my costume brothers, my sisters child was wearing my communion dress aunts, we were lucky to just get a holy medal never mind a stranger to put some money behind the cash register for ice. I have never hurt anyone in my life, especially a child. Is it normal to feel anger and bitterness one day later?

What you said is new to me, I'm 26 and do not remember such customs when I was a kid. But more power to you, if my grandmother had seen such a thing, she had no doubt that you were a saint

Maybe you should ignore these people and know in your mind that you are always able to meet these taditions saints who have all but disappeared in this country Catholics within.

Our religeon seems to have been passed through generations, and lost a little at a time, today, many people seem not to baptize their children to please their elders, and Havva a right old knees by thereafter. They have no idea why they do it in the eyes of God

I live in England, but I'm Irish anscestory strong. Yes your right, more is exempt, an Irish wake is almost like an Olympic sport drinking:)

I would have asked the merchant to contact the police. People think they can shout their mouths off at their own leisure.
What he said was not only deeply offensive, it is highly illegal and defamatory. You should not let people get away with things like that. Outside the rumors start, it was just being evil. Showing kindness to children is one step away from making advances pedophile. Some people belong to the gutter, esp with their small minds. You have every right to feel angry. I would still file a complaint if I

so u should forget, of course, the guy does not take the good intentions of people. you did an act of Nice, God knows, you know, there.

You have the right to be angry and upset. What have you been a nice act. Please try to forgive the man for ignoring his rudeness and stupid not to be taken out to be a charming man.

I can not undestand how deeply hurt and disgusted that you feel. I come from a devoutly Catholic country, but I'm too ashamed of my religion, sometimes. People of the canvas (males and females) were known to abuse children, but all they get is a slap on the wrist. I would be happy to shout "pedo" to them, but I know I arrest you. So to keep my faith, I just cut the "middle-man" so to speak, and deal directly with him on top. You should do the same. Ignore these ignorant people who throw terms offensive to you. Continue to be a nice person and get on with your life. God bless you.

there is no accounting for the strangeness of people .... do the right thing sometimes slap ... is a strange world .... I hope if we continue to be as we are then these traditions of decency can continue ...................
