Not all
Catholics are regular
church-goers. Many of them fall into this category, of
Hatch,
Match, and
Dispatch. How does this work?
- Hatch: They are in church when they are baptized.
- Match: They are in church when they get married.
- Dispatch: They are in church when they die.
In some circles, they are also known as the
Bred,
Wed, and
Dead Catholics.
A
necessary update:
Blush Response messaged me that this does not apply to Catholics alone, but other
Christian denominations, notably
Anglican.
