Seit vier Generationen pilgern wir zum Kloster Andechs. Alle Jahre. Ich halte meinen kleinen, totkranken Hund auf dem Arm und bleibe direkt an der Tür stehen. Ruft Pater Bulgari " bleiben Sie nicht stehen, kommen Sie ruhig weiter. Bei Franziskus durften Tiere auch in die Kirche und Sie halten Ihren Hund ja sogar auf dem Arm". Danke, Pater Anselm Bilgri!! Jahre später, gleiche Szene. Niemand sonst war in der Nähe , SCHREIT (schreit!!) quer durch die ganze Kirche Pater Exner (?): "RAUS!!! Sofort raus! Verlassen Sie sofort das Gotteshaus!!" Vielleicht nicht nur das Gotteshaus, gleich die Kirche? Christlich und gern gesehen ist nur, wer die Preise im Braeustueberl zahlt. DA ist es voll - in der Kirche leer ...
