A Catholic guy goes into the confessional box. He
notices on one side a fully equipped bar with Guinness
on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the
finest Cuban cigars. Then the priest comes.
"Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time
since I've been to confession, but I must first admit
that the confessional box is much more inviting these
days."
The priest replies "Get out. You're on my side."

I got it from my aunt, a good Catholic lady. Most of my family has a great sense of humour. Most of the Catholics I know are more fun than most of the
fundamentalists I know.

Thats funny Wendy, but the confessional box that was in place 40 years ago was a pitch black room on the priests side and an adjoining pitch black room on the
confessors side .And who knows what the priest with the pitch black clothing was doing in the darkness when he compelled his patrons to go into great detail
about their darkest sins while the priest sipped on Guiness "dark" behind the dark screen.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. "
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

A local priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner. However, he was delayed debating the "bail-out packages," so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited: "I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had also stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his best friend's wife, and taken illicit drugs. I was appalled. "But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people." Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and said: "I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived. In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession." Moral: Never, never, NEVER-EVER be late. I would rather be honestly blunt than diplomatically untruthful.

Not a catholic joke but has a catholic in it.
============================= Three friends, a Jew, a Catholic and a Protestant went fishing together. When they got out on the lake in their boat the Protestant suddenly realized he had left his best lure back in the truck so he said,"I'm going back to get my lure, I'll be right back" and with that he got up, stepped onto the water and walked back to shore to return shortly with his lure. The Catholic guy never said a word or made any notice of it but the Jewish guy was beside himself. A short time later the Catholic guy said, "I'm hungry and we left the cooler in the truck" with that he stepped onto the water and walked back to shore to return shortly with the cooler. At that point the Jewish guy began to think to himself, these guys believe in that fellow Jesus and He walked on the water. Well now, I have moses and he parted the sea, and with that he proclaimed he had to relieve himself so he stepped out of the boat and splashed into the water floundering around. The catholic guy said to the protestant, "you think we should have told him about the rocks?" Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
