Does That Count As Absolution?

I'm endlessly amused by some of the funny things people say as liturgical responses. Here's my most recent example:

Priest: The Lord has forgiven you. Go in peace.

Penitent: Same to you.

    That makes me think of this story I heard about a technical malfunction while celebrating Mass.

    He was talking and no one could hear him. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "My microphone's not working."

    To which the congregation responded, "And also with you."

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.
