A simple yes would have sufficed. lol

Well done, Mike. You get a Nod of the Miter for that.

Mike Shea said...

Gen,

That table is part of a database I've been building to track such things as ordinations, baptisms, Catholic weddings, etc., etc., in a wide variety of dioceses from the late '70s to the present day. (See here for more info and some very preliminary results.)

When you asked your question I just couldn't resist showing off. Sorry about that.

Gen said...

You deserve the glory.

Hey Mike. Remember when we were kids and the nuns in school gave you a map of the U.S. and told you to write in the state and the capitol. How many kids could do that these days.

We could turn the map in a Catholic "name that diocese/ archdiocese + ordinary" map." What would the first correct winner get?

On behalf of those who are over 50, we can't remember that stuff anymore!!

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:

"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
