Red Sox Fans Define the Church Militant

Today I was teaching the Church Triumphant, the Church Militant, and the Church Suffering.  The Church Triumphant represents the souls in heaven.  We who are still battling evil represent the Church Militant.  And lastly, the souls in purgatory represent the Church Suffering.

I think I did a good job because as the class was leaving, Luis said that tonight he would represent the Church suffering because he was going to watch the Red Sox play the Dodgers.

You see the Red Sox are the local team in Boston.  The Dodgers are from Los Angeles.  They are playing each other in the World Series.  The past few games have been played in Los Angeles which means to us on the east coast that we are staying up very late to watch them, because of the four hour time change.  One of their games broke the record for the longest innings played--18!  It didn't end for us until 3 AM, and the Red Sox lost that one.  But in the World Series, the winner is the one with four wins out of six.

So Luis was inferring that he would be suffering staying up late worrying if the Red Sox would win.
