A Protestant moved into a completely Catholic community.
Being good Catholics, they welcomed him into their com-
munity. But, also because they were good Catholics, they
did not eat red meat on Fridays. So when their neighbor
began barbecuing some juicy steak on Friday night, they
began to squirm.
They were so annoyed that they went to talk to him about
it. After much talk, they convinced him to become Catholic. The next Sunday, he went to the priest and the priest
sprinkled holy water on him and said, “You were born
Protestant. You were raised Protestant. But now you are
Catholic.”
And so, the next Friday, as the neighbors sat down to eat
their fish, they were disturbed by the smell of roast beef
coming from the neighboring house. They went over to talk
to the new Catholic because he knew he was not supposed
to eat beef on Fridays.
When they saw him, he was sprinkling ketchup on the beef
saying, “You were born a cow. You were raised a cow. But
now you are fish.”
