votiving

[W Brewer]

HS:  <<"Americans have no votiving discpline.">>
WB:  Well, it is true. Most Americans are not Catholic and they don't
venerate the saints. So maybe the Republicans are indeed taking us all down
to hell in a hand-basket. (Place voluntary offering in coin box, then light
candle.) Regina coeli, ora pro nobis.
