Sister Mary Christi Does PR

Ever play “Stump the Priest?” It’s a game in Catholic school where you come up with really hard questions for the priest or nun who’s trying to teach Catechism.

Some examples:
– How could God be three people at the same time?
– How did Noah fit two of everything into the ark?
– What’s a Virgin?

But you never could win this game because whenever the priest or nun would get stumped, they always had this answer at the ready, “It’s a mystery, my child.”

That’s one of the bummers about my children being Protestant – this answer doesn’t work on them. I resort to “Hmm, I don’t really know.” Especially when they ask me about things like virgins.

When PR people don’t know the answer to a reporter’s question, they say, “That’s a good question, I’ll get back to you on that.” That buys them time to come up with a good answer.

Maybe next time I’ll just say, “My child, it’s a mystery.”
