They were in church, going to mass and getting it out of the way early, knowing they would be too hung-over to go Sunday morning.

    I always envied Catholics their ability to schedule sin and forgiveness into their week. We evangelicals were just adrift in it all.

    Ha! I remember that. I also remember the teenage boys practically staggering out of confession, drenched in sweat.

    Yep. We had girls at school who would cheerfully go to confession just before the weekend.
