That's the more relevant question. If only we could eradicate the world of that religion

Quite the little Hitler, aren't you?

Thanks for the laugh Slowwhand.

Converts.

I'm uncomfortable with Catholics being made the butt of a joke. You really should be ridiculing Oklahomans or some other group that deserves it.

As an Episcopalian I shake ny head and wonder why we let either group into the country.

Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic....And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.


The Priest came to visit Bubba, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass, and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."


Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.


There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted:


You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you a catfish

I didn't get it...
Catfish is not meat?
Catholics can't eat meat on Fridays but they can eat catfish?
I'm asking seriously, I come from a Catholic background, and couldn't get the joke.

I just figured the Baptist didn't know catfish was a meat. That made it funnier.

Up until a couple of decades ago (was it until the reforms of Vatican II??), Catholics could not eat meat on Fridays but they could eat fish, which was not considered by the Church to be a meat.

I'm pretty sure you can still have fish on Fridays.

[Verto]

Yeah, hence the obnoxious fish sandwiches at fast food places.

You can always have fish....but the rule used to be that, for Catholics on Friday, they could only have fish, not meat.

[Kuciwalker]

And I don't remember them changing the rule. It would have to have been fairly recently, since that's what I learned in Sunday school.
