Fingerprinted

Today the staff of the parish and schools are being fingerprinted, by order of the Diocese following the directives of the Dallas Charter.

The workers doing the fingerprinting are some of the most unfriendly people imaginable.

The whole notion of mandated fingerprinting strikes me as a presumption of guilt on the part of everyone, with innocence needing to be proven later if an accusation should ever be made, be it against a priest or a layperson.

There's nothing quite like being treated like a criminal to lift your spirits.
