text: 1 poster made a reference to giving mass.  
  
  That poster is obviously not catholic, at least not a practicing 1.  Mass is celebrated, not given.  The priest is the celebrant, not the giver.  Parishioners participate in the mass; they are certainly not just an audience, as that poster implies, his ignorance of how people of a certain religious persuasion choose to partake of their faith unfortunate.  He should apologize, but all we'd get is some whining 'bout he didn't mean to hurt anybody feelings, or it's not that big a deal.  Sorta like using his ignorance to justify ignorance.
  
  It is too bad in his rush to get off a zinger, he  manages to slag/insult those who practice a certain faith.
  
  Doubt the poster meant to do it.  It becomes something to ponder:  which does the poster know less about--hockey or Catholicism?
  
  It is always a challenge to measure exactly how little on a subject some know, hard to get a precise # for something that tiny.
