It must be difficult getting people to lend a hand...

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

what time is it?

 

[Soton Seagull]

No.

I've had enough of Christians! They've been out in force in the city centre at lunchtimes round here. More forceful that charity muggers or door to door electricity compant salesmen!

After all, they are cheating it just a pagan festival that they've nicked!

I will probably reach Critical Mass at around midnight.

 

[Cian]

what time is it?

9:30 at my local Catholic church, 10:00 at the CoI one and 11:00 at the Presbyterian.

I thought it was Midnight Mass for a reason

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Of course. Along with all my Catholic brothers.

We shall be planning the sabotage of the Lewes Carnival next year Lord B.

His mother says she will pray to St. Teresa for you.

Our church doesn't have a midnight service so will be going on Sunday as normal.
We don't have one on Christmas Day because everyone wants to be at home enjoying themselves, and it's rotten dragging the kids away from their presents.

I'll be going (not Mile Oak obviously) and it will be my third service of the evening. Do I win a prize?

You're not the Irish Times religion columnist, are you?

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Cripes, Yorkie. That's a very liberal ecclesiastical regime! But with respect, I thought the whole point of Christmas (from a religious point of view) was the celebration of the birth of Christ. On, er, Christmas Day!!

 

[John Boy]

I'll be going to St. Peter's RC church in Portland Road

To be fair, Jesus wasn't born on the 25th December

 

[Juan Albion]

And worth remembering that Jesus was a Jew, and early Christianity a sect of Judaism, in effect. In Judaism, the day starts in the evening, hence Christmas Eve is very much part of Christmas Day.

How much of Brighton is Catholic? Seems to be a fair few on here.

 

[Juan Albion]

No, I probably go more times than he/she.

But then it's my job...

You're a priest?

I'm not sure on facts and figures, but it seems to be a fair few.
