Not a cartoon, but I found this today and thought it was pretty funny. Don’t know who wrote it:
This information is for Catholics only.
It must not be divulged to non-Catholics. The less they know about our rituals and top secret code words, they better off they are.
AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.
BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass.
HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key three octaves higher than that of the congregation’s range.
RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more quietly, since most of the people have already left.
INCENSE: Holy Smoke
JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to find colleges with good basketball teams.
JONAH: The original ‘JAWS’ story
JUSTICE: When kids have kids of their own.
KYRIE ELEISON: The only Greek words that most Catholics can recognize besides gyros and baklava.
PEW: A medieval torture device still found in Catholic churches.
PROCESSION: The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners looking for seats.
RECESSIONAL: The ceremonial procession at the conclusion of Mass led by parishioners trying to beat the crowd to the parking lot.
RELICS: People who have been going to Mass for so long, they actually know when to sit, stand, and kneel.
TEN COMMANDMENTS: The most important top ten list not given by David Letterman.
USHERS: The only people in the parish who don’t know the seating capacity of a pew.
