A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the

A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he for a long time. The dog finally died and Muldoon went to the parish priest, saying “Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly be saying a Mass for the poor creature?” Father Patrick told the farmer “No, we can’t have services for an animal in the church, but I’ll tell you what, there’s a new denomination down the road apiece, and no telling what they believe in, but maybe they’ll do something for the animal.” Muldoon said “I’ll go right now. By the way, do you think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?” Father Patrick replied “Why didn’t you tell me the dog was Catholic.”

A Catholic Priest and

A Catholic Priest and a Rabbi were chatting one day when the conversation turned to a discussion of job descriptions and promotion. “What do you have to look forward to in way of a promotion in your job?” asked the Rabbi. “Well, I’m next in line for the Monsignor’s job.” replied the Priest. “Yes, and then what?” asked the Rabbi. “Well, next I can become Arch-Bishop.” said the Priest. “Yes, and then?” asked the Rabbi. “If I work real hard and do a good job as Arch-Bishop, it’s possible for me to become a full Bishop.” said the Priest. “O.K., then what?” asked the Rabbi. The Priest, begining to get a bit exasperated replied, “With some luck and real hard work, maybe I can become a Cardinal.” “And then?” asked the Rabbi. The Priest is really starting to get mad now and replies, “With lots and lots of luck and some real difficult work and if I’m in the right places at the right times and play my political games just right, maybe, just maybe, I can get elected Pope.” “Yes, and then what?” asked the Rabbi. “Good grief!” shouted the Priest. “What do you expect me to become, GOD?” “Well,” said the Rabbi, “One of our boys made it!”

There is a story about a monastery in Europe

There is a story about a monastery in Europe perched high on a cliff several hundred feet in the air. The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength. Obviously the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying. One tourist got exceedingly nervous about half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed. With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope. The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, “Whenever it breaks.”
