I think he is whatever you want him to be.

Wait until the Catholic Annual Foundation starts raising alms donations to sell prime seating in the high church. It's all Les Miles fault.
I bet the line outside the concessions , I mean uh confessional were long too ?
Mandatory seating for everyone. Want to go to Heaven you better start scalping some tickets outside before Mass.

I figured they'd sell tickets, to church, reserved spots in heaven, special holy water, blessed trinkets, etc. etc.

After what I saw at 4pm mass today, I feel compelled to call out a select few of my fellow Catholics for what I consider the ultimate in being inconsiderate and hypocritical. I got to church at 3:10 and it was already about 80% full. People were scrambling for places to sit. I noticed a very long pew with a young girl stationed at each end and nobody in between. I thought nothing of it and started to enter the pew. They announced to me that the entire pew was reserved. Didn't want to cause a stink right there in church, but the very idea that some people think that's ok - especially considering the circumstances - is very disappointing. They continued to turn away well-intentioned people until "their people" arrived about 5 minutes before Mass started. There were other similar instances today, but this by far was the most egregious. Back in the day, it was common decency that said if you wanted to sit together, you arrived together. You reserved your seat by putting your buttocks on it - period. To project your inability to arrive at church on time onto fellow church goers is uber-arrogant, inconsiderate, selfish and reeks of an elitist mindset, even amongst Catholics. Tell me - what gives these people the right to reserve large stretches of pews? Is 1 entire pew ok? 2 pews? 3 pews? Can anything possibly justify it? It's not the neutral ground at Mardi Gras, for Christ's sake!!
Dude. You are Catholic. Yall make your own rules. There is no rule about reserving pews that yall have made up?

Do you have season tickets to the 2014 Catholic season? It includes the Christmas Mass. A Parking Pass is extra.
You can't just walk in anymore.

Next time, bring an old person with you. They don't care and are perfectly happy to be loud and vocal.
Bingo! I know several that would have sat down and told the seat-holder to kiss their arse right then and there

Solid trolling in this thread by you, got a few biters.

I was joking. But I am still puzzled why so many people decide to attend mass twice a year.

Almost as bad as people who reserve parking spaces on Gameday by putting a tailgate chair or parking double.
Then they act like you're the a-hole when you move their chair and park first come first serve.

It's really annoying. I think only in case of pregnant or very young kids or old and no more than 2-3 seats. My inlaws do this and I hate and don't participate.
