<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 251828, member: 23"]I've read that the priests used to visit the homes and if the men were outside smoking or hanging with their buddies, the priests would encourage them to go back in and make whoopie so they'd have more little Catholics. Could be true. Besides, there were so many infant deaths in those days they had lots of kids so they could help out on the farm. We never had anything to do with most of the family because we moved way out into the country and didn't go to Manchester very often. I wouldn't know my cousins if I passed them on the street.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
