Patty lived on an island off Cape Cod and once a year he took the ferry to the mainland to make his Easter duty. Then ferry service was suspended and he did not get over and when his priest friend caught up to him he reminded Patty that he had not seen him at the sacraments. Patty demurred falling back on the ferry suspension. Father Jim reminded him that there was still air service to the mainland. Said Patty in reply "Well, Father, I'll tell you - to fly over - for venial sins it's too expensive and for mortal sins it's too dangerous."
