Yesterday at Mass the reader announced the second reading as coming from “the second letter of St. Paul to the Thalosians”. I looked at my wife and my son and had to chuckle, although my wife didn’t get it at first.
You see, the Thalosians (pictured right) are from a planet visited by Captains Pike and Kirk and the Enterprise crew in the classic series – Thalos IV.
Our hapless reader mispronounced “Thessalonians” at Mass and made it look like the Thalosians not only were visited by the legendary Starfleet captains, but also rated a letter from St. Paul!
