Ring Them Bells! With a Bonus Term Of The Day!

Now THAT'S a BELL!

So St. John the Baptist Catholic Church is in trouble for ringing their bell at 7AM for the Angelus.Violates a noise ordinance, I guess. What I thought interesting was this:

"Aircraft, trains, and fireworks displays are exempt from the ordinance." I say the pastor ought to stock up on fireworks and fire those suckers up at 5AM.

Angelus - "The Angelus is a short practice of devotion in honour of the Incarnation repeated three times each day, morning, noon, and evening, at the sound of the bell. It consists essentially in the triple repetition of the Hail Mary..."
