Brief conversations.

My favorite blog comment of the morning, so far, comes from Rich Leonardi's Ten Reasons, where RL recounts the brief conversation he had with Archbishop Wuerl upon encountering him by chance in an airport.  Commenter Chris writes:

I've had much briefer conversations with a couple cardinals, a few archbishops and several bishops. They have all been identical.

Them: The Body of Christ!
Me: AMEN!

One was slightly longer.
He said: Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternm. Amen.

And I stuck my tongue out at him.

Hm, I seem to be encountering the same sort of conversation stopper with my parish priest.
