Now that is truly sickening. I would have told them where to shove those papers. But, then, I'm not known for my restraint and subtlety.
Bill Maher had a similar story. His mother was Jewish and his father Catholic.
He said he grew up horrified by the way the church and other Catholics treated his father, who remained a devoted Catholic despite the abuse, and literally demanded his mother renounce her faith. He said he would never forgive them for that.
