Look, This was a brilliant priest and I loved him. Unfortunately, there was a problem and he left. I still appreciate him.

Once he was saying of the Prophet Sophonias and saying to the kids of catechist: “Do you know what a Sophonia is?” - Meaning Symphony.

Other day he said of John the Baptist that he ate crickets, so said again to the kids, he was a vegetarian…
 
A Southern baptist told me once that the Roman Catholic Church are the modern Pharisees, and that the Southern Baptists represent the Modern Jesus… I didn’t even reply, not worth my time 🙂
 
For a year, I transferred to a school with predominantly hindu & muslim students.
One fine day, I naively brought fish and chips for lunch. I never saw a greener shade on my lunchmates face…(some hindu sects don’t consume any kind of meat).
 
Thanks for this thread…I liked reading the posts. I have actually had simular things said to me as well…:eek:
 
The next morning, Isaac went first, “Good morning I’m Jewish and this is my menorah”. Then Matthew, “I’m Catholic and this is my rosary”. Then Justin, “I’m Presbyterian and this is my casserole dish”.

HAHAHA Love it!!!

This is a great thread! Growing up and in college the girls would try and talk me out of Catholicism and the guys had misconceptions of another nature that mostly revolved around the “uniform”:rolleyes:
 
Years ago, a neighbor lady asked me why all Catholics “eat blood”. I was just astonished and couldn’t figure out what in the world she was talking about. I asked here where she got that information.

After some questioning, it turns out that she had been to a Polish harvest festival. One of the featured “dishes” is a traditional Polish dish called “czarnina”. Its main ingredient, I understand, is duck’s blood.

So, her association train went “Polish=Catholic + Polish eat czarnina + czarnina is made of blood = Catholics eat blood.”

Needless to say, I disabused her of the ultimate conclusion and explained the Polish custom.
 
My mother in law told me the she believes that “SOME Catholics CAN be good people”. We don’t talk much. 🤷

A Southern Baptist told me that RARELY can a Christian Catholic find Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church…
 
I once had a Scottish girl-friend. All was well until I mentioned I was a Catholic. “OH NO!” she screamed in horror, “I was told Catholics EAT BABIES!” My howls of laughter didn’t help either!😃 End of relationship!:rolleyes:

A friend of mine once told me that: since the ROMANS killed Jesus, and I’m ROMAN Catholic, therefore I killed Jesus.
Before anyone takes that too seriously, he was joking around. He doesn’t believe that at all.

My grandmother, who was raised Baptist, is a Catholic convert from way back. When she was discerning whether to convert (she was about to marry my grandfather, a Catholic), she was consulting a priest. She said that when she was growing up (in the rural south) there were people that told her that to become Catholic, a priest had to re-baptize her naked in a tub 😛
The priest she was talking to quickly dismissed this idea, thank goodness!

Good Friday this year, my college’s Catholic community did their service in the school auditorium. The lights were down. Before everything started, I was standing outside. Some folks passed the auditorium, saw the dim lights and religious stuff, and shouted “THEY DOIN’ BLACK MAGIC IN THERE!” and walked away laughing. It was actually kind of funny, though if it had been during the service, I would have been less jovial.

Someone recently told me that the Catholic Church killed Jesus. He was NOT joking. After I told him he must be losing his mind, he tried to clean it up by saying we all killed Jesus. I didn’t know if was mad about it or not because I started to laugh about it. That’s when I learned some people you just have to prayer for.
 
When I converted, my uncle told me about this Catholic he works with, expecting that I would know him since, you know, we’re both Catholics. I was tempted to tell him that yes, I had met every single one of the world’s >1billion Catholics upon joining the Church. 😃
 
I’ve heard people say that the Catholic Church is a “cult at its core and masked with Christianity.”

I about died laughing! They have no idea some of these people. 😃
 
Since I’ve already posted my nuttiest non-Catholic comment…actually made by your’s truly I’m going to flip the thread for a moment to the things I’ve heard a Catholic say

About 25 years ago I worked with a lady who’s Catholic. It was 8 days after Christmas and we were chatting at lunch about Christmas. I was Baptist at the time. For some reason I mentioned that if I remembered correctly it was on the 8th day after birth that Jew’s circumcised their babies therefore Jesus would have been as well. All 4’10"s of her body bowed up at me and she yelled…"ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THAT JESUS WAS A JEW?
" I just looked at her and after a moment said…oh my gosh, do you think He was Catholic? She was still bowed up and and said. “Of course He was. He was born and raised Catholic.” I think my jaw hit the table and I almost fell off my chair. I sweetly suggested that she read her bible and talk to her priest b/c Jesus most certainly was born and raised Jewish.

A teacher in a private school asked three children who were different faiths to bring something that represented their faith and talk about it the next morning for their special sharing time.

The next morning, Isaac went first, “Good morning I’m Jewish and this is my menorah”. Then Matthew, “I’m Catholic and this is my rosary”. Then Justin, “I’m Presbyterian and this is my casserole dish”.

Lutherans would bring their “hot dish” 😃 or possibly a jello mould.

I don’t think so and she didn’t speak to me for a couple of weeks. We never spoke of it again. I asked her in a sincere tone of voice, not sarcastic, if she owned a bible and that if she didn’t I’d be happy to give her one of mine.

I did. 😃 Seriously though, if she really thought about it…if He was born and raised Catholic what type of communion service did they have. That alone should have proved the case that He wasn’t Catholic even if she didn’t read the bible.
