#10: My 2nd wife attended the University of Portland (Catholic college) in the late '60's. She said that on Monday mornings the bins at the nuns' quarters were full of empty wine and liquor bottles.
So what, means nothing. Nuns are people too, they enjoy a little nip now then. I remember my Father buying 2 cases of beer and leaving on the front porch of the residence where the sisters lived. Another time my parents were away a few days they had one of the sisters come stay at our house to see that my brother and I ate real meals and got off to school on time. Dad laid in a small supply of beer. Sister told us that she had been raised in a German home where children are allowed to drink beer at an earlier age.
The Catholic church has no problem with liquor. Excessive drinking leads to sins of commission and omission, and they have a problem with _that_, but moderate drinking is no sin.
It's some of the Protestants that are against all drinking - even though they worship the guy who once used his divine powers to keep the wine flowing.
My Catholic grandfather and Lutheran grandmother always hosted the Catholic Bishop when he came to town. He and my grandfather had become friends when young men. The local priests and parishoners could never understand why the Bishop preferred to stay on the sofa bed in the living room, with a family that hadn't stepped foot in the Catholic church for anything other than funerals in many years. The Bishop never told them it was because grandmother was a great cook. And grandpa always had a well stocked liquor cabinet.
A friend of mine in high school went to seminary school afterward to become a priest. He decided against and left after a year or two. He said the most disgusting job at the school was being assigned to the laundry where he had to pull apart the stuck-together sheets and socks.

Nothing's changed.
