And laminated copies of church documents at very table for people to read while their food is prepared. And the waiters and waitresses great everyone by saying "Peace be with you". Um... yeah... so I've thought about this before.

If we are going to sponsor a "pub," I think, by definition, it would have to be open to all comers--and that is probably what we would want anyway. We like fun people. But, a pub is not a church, so if our intention is that everyone is welcome, I think we want to be sure that the Catholic theme isn't carried so far that the message could be misinterpreted. However, if we want the pub to celebrate Catholicism, which is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned, we may be wiser to designate it as a "private club." That way, anyone who wants to join is welcome, but knows exactly what the club is all about. BTW--I'm just guessing at the rules for "pubs" versus "private clubs" in Ireland. I just know that we want everyone to feel good and have a fun time. P.S. I warned you that you might be creating a "monster" if you taught me how to use "mulitquote."

[/quote] Chuck-E-coagulated milk bills itself as a pizza restaurant. However, there are many people, including myself, who would be ashamed to serve what they call "pizza." However, screaming kids love the place. (There are a great many wonderful, nice, well-behaved children in the U.S., but, you won't find them at Chuck-E-coagulated milk.)
