Church humour and a caption Contest

"A Catholic woman visits her Parish Priest and asks how she goes about getting her dog a Christian funeral. The priest, throwing up his hands, tells her that Catholics don't do that sort of thing and she'll need to go and visit the Anglicans, they'd be sure to do it. The woman asks the priest if he could give her one more pice of advice, to which the priest agrees. "Do you think that £1,000 will be enough for the Anglican to do the service?" she asks.

"Why didn't you say it was a Catholic dog when we started the conversation?" asks the priest, "Of course I'll do it!

Apparently it's an ongoing joke with some Catholics at least about the church and money and so this was one of many jokes I heard regarding it and them.

Not to be outdone, an Anglican told of a church near to him which had a problem in that the new, and much needed, roof was going to to be put on hold because of bats residing in the roof space.

The Archdeacon was called out and after assessing the problem said he'd need to call the bishop as he had a solution. "What can the bishop do, "asked the incumbent. "Well," said the Archdeacon, "we will get the bishop to come and confirm the bats!"

"How on earth will that help us with our problem?" asked the befuddled incumbent.

"It's simple," replied the Archdeacon, "Once the bishop confirms them we'll never see them again!"

Seems we tell the best jokes about ourselves after all!
