If there were any question as to whether or not district or the Priests at OloS read Cathinfo ,well question no more . A couple of weeks ago Fr.M during his sermon brought up Cathinfo indirectly of course but none the less  .He talked about the basement and the church dept calling it a "Albatross around our neck" For those not familiar with the saying it refers to a poem by Samuel T. Coleridge "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" .In it a sailor guilt of the sin of killing a albatross was thought to be the sole cause of all their troubles. So they hung the dead albatross around the sailor's neck.
I agree with Fr.M the dept is a sin, the cause of all our troubles AND like the sailor in the poem who could not go about his normal life due to this huge rotting carcass around his neck as it literally took president over everything, was a consent reminder never to commit such an act again

Of course in said poem the aforementioned sailor was not told to kill the bird nor told to kill A bird only to find out later it was an albatross. with that in mind In ask you . Who should be wearing the metaphorical albatross around their neck ?

It's "debt" (not "dept") and "precedence" (not "president").

Thank you ,
I am now at ease knowing you have highlighted and corrected the grammar mistakes and proved to me that the meaning was not lost . In my defence it was very late and I had only just "put it all together"
