This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I had a guy say that to me on his way back from Communion. by ProV1x

I never saw him before in my life but possibly he somehow knows me from the golf course where I still work. My wife and I sit in one of the smaller three person pews located off the Gospel side isle in our old (1839) church, Notre Dame du Port. He walked by, nudged me on the shoulder and said "Go Irish!" then kept on going.

Our church is now named Good Shepherd since it was merged with two other Louisville West End parishes but the original name ND du Port is still seen in gold lettering over the main door. Rev. Stephen Badin provided the land for our church and was our first pastor. I'm of the fifth generation on my father's side who has belonged there.
