@CharlesinRome The archdiocese of Chicago is infected with fees for everything and they don't even try to hide it on most parish websites. The parish by my house charges about 400 dollars for first communion. I get that "collections are low!" at parishes but COME ON.
The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.
