Serious subject. Here's something to make you smile.
:)


A Catholic priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane.

After a while the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"

The rabbi responds, "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs."

The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?"

To which the rabbi replies, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"

The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"

The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

Thankyou and Godbless!
a bit of humor is what we all need at this point,so here goes.

a very wealthy catholic had a dog he was very fond of.
the animal became ill,and after extensive examination, the dog was determined to be terminal. The man contacted his Bishop for a meeting. He brought the dog with him and asked the Bishop to heal the dog. The Bishop responded that he knew nothing about animal medicine. The man then said to the Bishop, "I'll give the Church $100,000.00" The Bishop responded, "That's different. I didn't realize the dog was Catholic."
