It broke mt heart a litle that Grissom has his mother's rosary in his desk...if it was her main rosary (as opposed to a commemorative rosary), the clear implication is that Mom has passed. :( And how absolutely dear is it that he has it in a little box in his desk drawer? *sob* He's a good boy.
I personally don't think Catherine is or was Catholic. I thought the way she crossed herself was a bit sketchy (it was done correctly, I just don't think it was done like someone who's done is a millian times). I looked much more like someone who knew what to do...though I did like her lighting a candle for Sam.
Also, it seemed unusual to me that those banks of candles were unlit. Almost every church I've been in replaces candles in the banks as they burn out, which would leave some candles always burning. And matches? Never seen that. There are usually long sticks in a cup or in sand that you light from a burning candle to light your own. That whole thing jumped out at me because it was so at odds with my personal experience.
The other thing that bugged me was the lack of other religious at the church. First of all, for a church of that size, there would have to be several priests available just to serve the needs of the parish. Where were they? And, I think Fater Berlin was a bit young to have that big a church...he would more likely be part of the staff, but not the pastor.
And why was there a single nun and a novice at this church? Where were the other sisters?
I'm not an expert by any means, but I've been around enough churches in enough parishes to wonder about this stuff.
I just loved the interaction between Grissom and Sara, especially when he was nattering about what he believes...I don't think he's all that comfortable talking about it, myself. :)
No, Dear? SQUEEEEEEEEEE!
And I agree about burnout...looks pretty well rested to me :)

It's early and that's all I've got at the moment.
