A few years ago, I attended Catholic mass with my brother and father. My brother and I hadn't been brought up Catholic, so the rituals and hymns were all very new to us. When the congregation began to sing "Hosana in the highest", my brother whispered to me, "Are they saying 'Throw Osama in the fire'?"
A childhood belief about hymns

- My brother that is 6 years younger than me used to believe that in seven years he would be older than me.Anon
- That you start out Catholic and after you reach a certain age you then become Protestant.Anon
- I used to think God and Jesus were the same person. And I grew up Catholic.— Jackie Mullinix/st louis
