Book Review: More Church Humour

I once asked a friend of mine who is into apologetics: “If Jesus came back today as a man, what religion would he be?” My friend, ever faithful to Mother Church, replied, “Why, a Catholic, of course!” I should tell him this anecdote:

A Methodist, a Presbyterian, a Baptist, and a Catholic were discussing the question [...]

Don’t forget it: he has most who needs least. Don’t create needs for yourself. (The Way, 630)
Detach yourself from the goods of the world. Love and practise poverty of spirit: be [...]
