Spotted this humorous post regarding the “traditional Latin Mass“, otherwise known as the extraordinary form of the Mass on The Lair of the Catholic Cavemen.

Bubba: You know, cousin… I was wondering about that “Latin Mass” that you talk about so much. Mind if I ask you a few questions?

Father P: Go right ahead, Bubba.

Bubba Ray: Is it true that you ask folks in heaven to pray for you?

Father P: Sure do.

Bubba: What part?

Father P: Gloria.

Bubba: Who?

Father P: Gloria.

Bubba: No, I mean the part when you talk to the folks in heaven.

Father P: Gloria.

Bubba: I don’t know no girl name a Gloria.

Father P: No. I’m telling you that when we ask the Saints in heaven to pray for us, that’s the Gloria.

Bubba: Gloria who?

Father P: *Sigh* We’ll talk about that later. Is there anything else you wanted to ask me?

Bubba: Matter of fact, I do. Just exactly when do you start speaking to The Lord Hisself?

Father P: Christe Elesion.

Bubba: Christy who?

Found this on Thoughts & Ruminations, a microblog by Father Ryan Humphries of Catholic Underground fame.

This information is for Catholics only. It must not be divulged to non-Catholics. The less they know, the more fun this list is!

1. AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.
2. BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass.
3. CHOIR: A group of people whose singing allows the rest of the Parish to lip-sync.
4. HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key three octaves higher than that of the congregation’s range.
5. RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more quietly, since most of the people have already left.
6. JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to found colleges with good basketball teams.

Lesson learnt from this video? Never ignore a hungry cat!

H/T: Christopher Humphries for posting this video on his Facebook page.

I found this video that is not only hilarious, but realistic as well in depicting how we feel/act/behave on these 2 particular days of the week.

Here’s an interesting theological joke which The Ironic Catholic shared today:

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder.

She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: ‘Stop! Acts 2:38!’
(“Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sins may be forgiven.” )

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: ‘Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.’

‘Scripture?’ replied the burglar… ‘She said she had an ax and two 38s!’
