A priest-friend of mine, whose first name was Joseph, was assigned to St. Joseph parish; he LOVED (!) to answer the phone 'St. Joseph Church. This is Joseph'
I used to volunteer for the Missionaries of Charity in Lynwood, CA. Once I answered their phone for them and the young woman on the other end said, "Hello, is this... Mother Teresa?"
Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.

Oh, man. I seem to have opened a can of worms with my movie reference. :)
