Dec. 5—The conversation, I'd imagine, would start this way:Me: "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been too long since my last confession."Father: "What are your sins, my son?"Me: "Well, there's one I need to get off my chest."Father: "Of course, my son."Me: "I'm a baseball traditionalist."Father: "Oh, I see.
