More from the Latin class priest...

More from the priest who runs my Latin class -

A few years ago when he taught the class in Rome had had a lot of ODei members in it, who used to arrive in a big van every morning for class. One day on a field trip that the members couldn't make, someone from the class told him how tiresome it was to always be asked about the last time they went to confession, said the rosary, etc., and when he looked into things more, he found out that each ODei member had been assigned 3 other people from class to convert (to catholicism if they weren't catholic, and to ODei catholicism if they were already catholic).

So, he forbade them from coming to class anymore.

And, during his classes during the year thereafter, he would give each ODei member a two-page letter (in Latin) outlining expected behaviors, including that they should never bring in potato chips and soda on his birthday as they had been doing to curry favor.
