A Bag of Flaming Theses
A little late, but still good for a few laughs. "Officials at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church report that a vandal attacked their parish during their annual "Trunk-or-Treat" festivities on Halloween. According to Fr. Michael Donnelly, someone placed a paper bag filled with Luther's "95 Theses" on the church's front step, set it on fire, then knocked on the door and ran away. When Donnelly answered the door, he quickly stomped on the burning bag to put out the flames."
