[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when DD marries Sean from Gonzaga, converts to Catholicism, has 5 kids names Cullen, Colin, Meghan, etc, and talks a lot with her Catholic friends about Novenas and First Communions, her parents shouldn't be too surprised?[/quote]

If she married a guy from Gonzaga and those things happened, I'd be *very* surprised.  The reality is that the Catholic upper classes in Washington have become virtually indistinguishable from their non-Catholic peers in terms of values and attitudes.  In fact, they often bend over backward to prove they fit in to what constitutes polite society here.  As a PP wrote, read "God and Man at Georgetown Prep" ...[/quote]

You need to put that book down and get out into Washington more.

The Catholics we know aren't "bending over backward to prove they fit in to ... polite society". They have their own polite society.

They even have their own system of geography. Locations are identified based on what parish they are in, even when the parish no longer exists.[/quote]
