    I have read this is true. If it is true, it stands out as an example of human stupidity and belief in nonsense at it's finest.

    I didn't know this either, but boy am I not surprised. They've banned just about everything at some point over the years, including tomatoes and coffee, for the same reason.

    How exactly is a fork an instrument of the devil? I mean, in their minds.

    You guys eat spaghetti with a fork?

    I was tempted once, but it cost me three Hail Marys and an Our Father.

    I've read this more then once, but I never cared enough to be concerned if it was true or an urban myth. I thought maybe it had something to do with the Devil's Pitchfork, but I don't know now. The information I found was sketchy. Might just be myth.

    I'm a non-practicing Catholic myself. That's fuckin' funny but does not surprise me at all.

    I was watching "Cassanova" the other day and I love this line from it.....
    a girl wanted her virtue restored and the cardinal(?) said that he could even give her back her virginity.

    I dunno, I read it in Mental Floss! They better not be lying cuz I love reading it! It was just a blurb at the bottom of the page with no other info...hmmm....makes more sense than coffee or tomatoes!

    You know what? I was raised Catholic, and the older I get, the more it pisses me off. And the more I realize how brainwashed I was (even though I was the slut in Catholic school who always challenged the teachers and got detention). They are fucken insane, the really devout ones anyway.

    The more I read about Satanism, the more it makes sense. Hell, those people are allowed to have FUN!
