Lutheran? OhmyGod. When I was in college I played in a brass quintet that performed for pay at weddings and other serious social occasions. We played at the local Lutheran church on Reformation Sunday once and were very nicely paid for doing so. When I told my Irish Catholic Grandmother that we did that she was aghast. "How could you DO such a thing?" There is a great little paperback parody called Growing Up Catholic. Have you ever read it? The most hilarious part is a "what's wrong with this" sketch which depicts a nun showing a film strip about sexual hygiene. Among the things wrong with the picture are the topic of the film strip and the machine going "click" when it was time to go to the next frame. "Everyone knows the machine goes "boop" when it's time to advance the strip!! The Sin/Indulgence balance sheet is also hilarious. If you have never seen it, I can get you the title, publisher, etc. It is a must read for anyone who grew up Catholic in the '50s. Even though I grew up in the '60s, it was a laugh riot for me.
