Joe Manning has been attending daily Mass at St. Rita\u2019s Catholic Church for the last ten months. He has not missed a day and while being quiet and attentive, has been ostracized by other daily Mass attenders. He has been wanting to get more involved in parish life, but is turned away.<\/p>\n

A fellow parishioner, who wishes to be anonymous, told us. \u201cWhile Joe seems to be a nice enough guy, there is just something off about him. Mostly we find his lack of a \u201dI Believe\u201c bumper sticker disturbing. We have them available for free on a chair at the back of the chapel. So what goes? Considering that every other daily Mass attendee has this sticker, he really sticks out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another anonymous parishioner expressed similar thoughts. \u201cMaybe it would be of no notice if he perhaps had a pro-life, Rosary, or other bumper sticker. But when it was noticed he didn\u2019t even have a Rosary hanging on his mirror, we knew something was seriously wrong. I can\u2019t fault his behavior at Mass, but if he really loved Jesus in the Eucharist then where is his \u201dI Believe\u201c sticker?\u201d<\/p>\n
