A farmer lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he loved dearly.
One day the dog died and the farmer went to the parish priest, inquiring if a mass could be for the dead pet. Father Patrick told the farmer: "No, we can't have services for an animal in the church, but I'll tell you what, there's a new denomination down the road, and no telling what they believe in, but maybe they'll do something for the animal." The farmer said: "Thanks, I'll go right away. By the way, do you think 50,000 is enough to donate for such a service?" to which Father Patrick replied: "Why didn't you tell me the dog was Catholic?"
;D

Oh that takes the cake :D Very good! lol
Did the Priest Patrick not know Francis of Assisi practised blessing and baptising animals and giving them Christian names. :o How different is that! He should have known better than to object to a full funeral traditional service for the beast :D After all Francis of Assisi was also Catholic! :D
Peace to you
