Little Sacrifices
“As one might expect, being agnostics where so many people were in the business of dispensing godliness was bound to call attention to us. In Williamstown, my irreligious condition made me the envy of my peers. While my classmates struggled bleary–eyed to catechism every Sunday I got to lounge at home worshipping St. Mattress and the Holy Pancake. When, every so often, I’d get curious about my friends’ blessed shenanigans, Duncan would pack me off to church with Lottie to see what all the fuss w...as about. Lottie tantalized me with the knowledge that each week the priest deposited waffles onto the waiting tongues of his flock. I had to take her word for it, not being of the faith myself. I was a teenager before I realized that the Eucharist was a wafer and that Lottie had a speech impediment. Catholic masses bored me stiff. They were long, solemn, in Latin, and a single one satisfied my curiosity for years at a time. Religion in the South involved much more than an hour–long inconvenience on Sunday mornings.MoreLess
