Ya, thats right, 100 grand.
Not quite the “man of the cloth” we’re all used too is it?
Heres what the honorable(?) Rev. Andrew Trapp had to say about his participation in the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge:
“At the very least, even if I didn’t win any prize money, I was hoping it would help people to see that priests can have fun and be normal people and hopefully get a little bit of a fun twist on the image of the priesthood,”
The Assistant pastor (Ass Pastor….anybody?) hoped to at the least raise awareness of how the modern priesthood conducts itself, and winning the money for his church was simply a bonus.
Contrary to (hundreds of years of ) popular belief, Trapp says the the Catholic church no longer takes issue with playing card games or drinking a few beers, as long as its within reason.
I frankly, am heading down to the local chrch this Sunday to see if I can’t wrangle up a few worshipers for a game on the weekend, I’ll call it “Tithe Night”
