Humor



Today's jokes [4.24.08]
There's this old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish
who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said,
"If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone
who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen."

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the
priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest
arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in
town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about
having fallen."

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new
priest about the code word.

Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at
the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your
wife fell three times this week.

    ... In my experience, Protestants don't grow up with a concept that sins are to be confessed to another human being, except in the general sense of admitting "I'm a sinner" and in the specific sense of confessing to the specific human your sin harmed, the confession being part of the process of asking that person's forgiveness. ... Asking outside help in confessing or in receiving assurance is not the daily norm, but it is commonly advised as useful if you are having trouble accepting reassurance from God on your own. ... The priest offers both the assurance of God's forgiveness, and the assurance of forgiveness from brothers & sisters in Christ. ...
