CLARICE: A southern gentleman! But he was a defender of the faith and he heard that there was a Catholic priest, and a Baptist preacher giving a meeting together at the Holiday Inn. And this is 1971. It’s long time ago. And so George says, “I can’t believe that renegade priest is running around with that Baptist!” And because – you got to understand where we were! Amen? You got to understand where people are because you’ve got to understand we’ve not been this way that we’re about to go!
Audience: That’s right!
CLARICE: You’ve never been – you don’t have anything to draw from! You’ve got to put your faith completely in the infallible inerrant awesome Word of God and to know that God is limitless! And He is looking for a people that will stand in the stead of Christ that executes the judgments of God that are already written! Not beggin’ and pleadin’ and whinin’ and talkin’ to God like He has a severe case of Alzheimer’s and doesn’t know what’s goin’ on!
Audience: [laughing]
CLARICE: We’re not here to tell God what the problem is! We’re here to have the antidote and to be able to release the Word of God! Who can say, “Amen?”
Audience: Amen!
CLARICE: Amen! And so here I didn’t know all that then! So my husband got all concerned about this terrible renegade priest so he got 9 other gentlemen, doctors and lawyers and Indian chiefs, and they went to the hotel to spy out the liberty that was goin’ on! And so – now any of you come from a Catholic background? Well, it’s a ripe group here, praise God!
Audience: [laughter]
CLARICE: More Catholics than people!
Audience: [laughter]
CLARICE: But the wonderful thing about a service in the Catholic church, it’s kinda like a night at the Holiday Inn! There are no surprises! They know for the next 200 years what they’re going to be talkin’ about!
Audience: [laughter]
CLARICE: I mean it’s all written out, you know? And 45 minutes is a long church service, okay? So you got that. So George left at 6 and came in at 12. And I said, “Where in the world have you been?” He says with a stary look, he says, “Church!
Audience: [laughing]
CLARICE: And I said, “Honey!” I said, “You’ve been gone 6 hours! Make somethin’ up!” You know just -”
Audience: [laughing]
CLARICE: Let’s talk about this!
Audience: [laughing]
