I think this thread is the longest I've seen in fifteen years on Histonet! I find the joke a little lame, but the thread gets funnier and funnier.

If the joke gives offense, it's because its writer clearly has only a very dim idea of Catholic practice (either Roman or Anglican - I'm an Episcopalian). It would be lot funnier if these details were rewritten.

Lesley Weston then tried to tell a comparable story from Jewish history, only to have it intercepted by his corporate netnanny, apparently because it contained the word J-w. I think of playwright Herman Wouk's book about his Orthodox faith he published about 50 years ago - "This Is My God" is I think the most profound work of religious apologetic written in the 20th century - well, maybe C.S.
Lewis's "Mere Christianity" - Wouk the playwright wryly observed that the word J-w uttered on the stage is always a shocker.

As an aside, when you forward anything on the Web, make sure always to delete all the accumulated e-mail addresses in it - they're an invitation to spammers.
