catholic pagan babies
Have any pagans heard of how Catholic school kids bought pagan babies?
I used to be Catholic and in school we actually bought pagan babies every St. Valentin's Day. It was a contest between boys and girls to see how many you could buy.
Any Catholics remember that?
My aunt "adopted" one and named it after me. I actually have a certificate.

it had NOTHING to do with cupid!
When I was a child, we use to collect money for pagan babies. If you collected a certain amount, you got to name the baby. We were told that the money was used to help missionaries feed, educated and clothe these children.

As a child, Gina Cascone would hide under her bed, in the closet, and run away from her parents, hoping somehow to escape her worst fear. But she couldn't hide from the awful truth... She had to go to Catholic school. Do nuns have legs? Is Original Sin the "starter sin" for novices? Can the rosary be said in under fifteen minutes? These are some of the questions that vex young Gina Cascone as she makes her way, grade by grade -- and prayer by prayer -- through the rigors of a Catholic education. All the answers can be found in this hilarious classic of childhood foibles: the traumatic first day of school, the dorky plaid uniform complete with matching beanie, glow-in-the-dark rosary beads, first confession trauma, proper dashboard decor ("Cadillacs got Jesus; Oldsmobiles got Mary"), and the race to save the most "pagan babies," who weren't lucky enough to be born Catholic and American. |
