Because it has SFA to do with religion and loads to do with consumerism.brodiebabe said:Was at a communion the other day. There was a bouncy castle, catered food, new clothes for mam, dad and 3 children and then the communion boy was given a bike by his parents!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's that about? A present from your mam and dad on your communion day - why????????? Maybe someone could explain this to me.
Just to avoid embarassment - I think they're expected to wear their own clothes under those robes!Purple said:My son will be making/having his first communion next year and all the kids from his school wear a sort of robe that is supplied by the school so we won’t have to fork out for a new outfit….
Wow! The Catholic Church must have pulled out all the stops to lure punters in since I stopped going! Do they have any special offers for reformed atheists? I could do with a new bike and some new clothes myself! But I'd make do with a go on their bouncy castle if necessary.brodiebabe said:Was at a communion the other day.

Sure beats a slap round the lobes and a nugget of coal.
