In reply to Colin Gormley.

That's a very true point. I recall a story I was told where in Italy (I think) a rule was decreed that a man needed like 10,000 hours of classroom education before being ordained (which is eight hours a day, five days a week, for thirty weeks a year (the typical academic year, minus summer), for 10 years). Someone asked the Cardinal/Bishop/Whomever how they expect someone to actually get 10,000 hours and they responded: "Of course he won't actually get 10,000 hours. We want them to take their classroom work seriously, that's all!"

Happy Lent to you too! We'll enjoy our brothless dishes together.
