A random fact application on my iPod. I was looking at it on a long car ride and when I got home, I decided to post it. Btw, I just checked it again, and it said "mid 1990's" not 1994.

(The OP): Mk. I don't vote on posts like this about the Catholic Church just because I don't believe it, even though I wouldn't be surprised if it's something they actually did.
