13. I swear

Tuesday

I graduated from a Catholic university, with one of my degrees in religion and I swear I never once remember the Benedictine monks or even priests at the Catholic Churches I visited, as anything other than "Father" or "priest".
Not complaining though. Like learning new things.

(For the record, obviously not Catholic. In fact I'm an atheist but I like learning about different religions)
