I grew up Catholic, and there is one part in the Mass when the line "Jesus, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world" is sung. When I was a little girl, I misheard this. I thought it was either "cents" as in pennies. This made perfect sense to me, because we always passed the offering basket around and put money in it.

He had a beard.... it made sense— Joe B - I am Catholic. I used to believe that the Father presenting the Mass was in fact God himself.— Lindsey
