Dear Diary,
A strange thing happened today. I suddenly hear Fr. Tommy shouting something in Latin in his office over and over again. Chester was immediately on the case and I followed. There was Tommy with the new issue of the diocesan newspaper. He was shouting “it’s “CATH-EH-DRATIKUM” NOT JUST “DRATIKUM”! CATH-EH-DRATIKUM!” He looked like he was about to cry. Then he got on his phone and called someone. His therapist? Who knows. I told him later you can’t expect newspaper people to get things right all the time.
Next Finance Council meeting from hell, Im gonna ask how much that darn paper is costing us.
PS: Because of this I remembered that was the fancy name for the parish tax. Everything works out in the end!

Well, it could have been worse. Here in the Southern US, if this debt had been referred to in such a formal manner (highly unlikely) it could well have been rendered as Catholic Draticum, or Catholics Drat It.
Let us be thankful for small favors.
“Next Finance Council meeting from hell”.

“+McButterpants believes in Hell?” – well, at least it’s a handy figure of speech
