I'm Pretty Sure; "The Yellow Pages" Was An American Invention.
However back before the Internet if you wanted to find a local business or tradesperson you had to look up their phone number in a massive phone book, printed on yellow paper. Then call them on a landline.
Except if you were Irish. In which case you could use a different directory. If you also ran a builder's yard you could even talk discounts and freebies.
Of course I wasn't even in my local Catholic Church during the great choppy-choppy. So I've certainly not been back since. However I do remember enough to know that when you're talking about A Catholic Church you're talking about a small group group of people with otherwise completely normal lives. Rather than The Catholic Church in its entirety, with the Vatican City as it's capital.
As I've been passing by though, more recently than Google, I've noticed that they've built a shrine to Our Maria in the carpark. Which seems a much more African way of going about things.
Of course it's entirely possible to notice something, without it being a value judgement.
Unless it's the brickwork, in which case you might be tempted to pop in again.
