Father Francis is a man of God. As a man of God, he takes great joy in all God's creations. So he found himself walking down by the river as he considered his sermon for Sunday's Mass. As he was walking along he nearly trod on a frog but stopped just in time. The frog looked up at him and to his surprise spoke! "Oh Father!" said the little frog. "Please help me, I have been cast under a spell by an evil hag. She caught me down by the river skiving off school so she turned me into a frog as a punishment. I know what I did was wrong Father and now I know I'll never see my Mummy and Daddy again. Please, please help me." Father Francis could not allow himself to desert this poor creature. As Jesus has taught us, he knew his duty as a man of God and a good Samaritan. So Father Francis took that little frog back to the Vicarage and laid the poor thing on his bed. Then he knelt down to pray. For four hours Father Francis prayed, nothing could stop him. Eventually his unwavering faith was rewarded and there, lying in Father Francis's bed, was the little eight year old boy finally freed from his ordeal. And that M'Lud concludes the evidence for the defence.

Touching. How can the intentions of such a man be misunderstood? The only thing that gives me a lot to think about is that Father Francis and many of his brothers apparently work in shifts to do their miracles without ever losing a word about them.

I do feel obliged to report this as an abusive post. It seems that we cannot tolerate humour at the expense of religious feeling. Sorry for the 160 point hit you are about to get for my single vote of abuse.

Now I see the need for a coffee gutter on my monitor :)

I like this joke, Ironically the first time I heard this was way before the whole Catholic church thing and it had nothing to do with a Catholic priest - it was a guy who found the frog while playing a round of golf. The punchline was better too: "And thats my story your honour, and im sticking to it".

This isn't about me - it's about you not recognising that you got it wrong and best to leave it alone. You won't make your point by being an obnoxious ass.

I have realised this and am trying to move on. I mentioned something elsewhere about crossing a line I didn't see. It got rather silly actually.

You crossed the Rubicon for no other reason than you are like most intelligent people: you can't let go of the strongly held belief that the very intelligence which makes you smart won't allow you to admit that you can still get stuff wrong! We all do it (or so Mrs M tells me) so don't beat yourself up over it - just admit it, move on and forget about it. [END_LECTURE] :)
