My secretary just said she had to take off to pay her "Holy Debt Obligation" since she didn't go to mass this morning...

WTF is THAT?

If she is catholic, I can ask my dad (he is going through a Deaconic program), though I would bet my unholy money that it is a "funny" slang that she is using.

Trust me, my secretary doesn't do funny...and yeah, she is catholic.

Ok, before I ask my dad, I would assume it has something to do with tithing.

Ok, clarification: "Holy Day Obligation" Today is one of them (all souls day). Just a day you are supposed to go to church I think. I am awaiting more info.

Sounds like an excuse to get out of work to me.

hmmm....yeah, I guess she could have said Holy Day Obligation and not Holy Debt Obligation. She kind of mumbled it.

All Saints Day, November 1 IS a holy day.

All Souls Day is tomorrow, November 2. It is NOT a Holy day.
