A WaPo article about the prospects for the Passion

Joseph P. Vitale, a young District lawyer who is Catholic, bought out the largest screen at the AMC movie complex at Mazza Gallerie in Northwest Washington for the first night’s screening because he and his friends thought seeing the movie “would be a great way to start off Lent.” Vitale then sent invitations to friends, acquaintances and Catholic youth groups at local universities, offering them the opportunity to buy tickets in advance at his cost. Within hours of sending the e-mailed invitations, Vitale said he received more than 350 affirmative responses, and within days his e-mail in-basket held requests for a total of 800 tickets.

Forgive my parochialism, but I’m interested whenever I see an RC mentioned in these articles. It’s rare. Hopefully less so as the week wears on.
