Excellent statistic from Catholic Radio

[wallock]

OK, you caught me, I listen to Catholic Radio for entertainment, and no I am not a Christian. I can barely write this because I am laughing so hard. It probably isn't all that funny, but you know how it is when something strikes you and you just can't stop!

The speaker opened up his segment stating that 100 people die every minute (vaguely relating to Schaivo) and how out of those 100, 17 are Catholic. Of those 17 Catholics, 5 of them are 'true' devoted Catholics.

Then he talks about how upsetting it was that only 5 were true Catholics...

That's when he began to raise his voice and started telling his audience how desperately we need to increase this number (that is, the number of true Catholics dying every minute). We need to work harder in our communities to make that number higher... one's imagine can get very inappropriate with that statement.

OK, that's about it, I thought I would just share my brief moment of laughter alone in my apartment.

[Demit]

2. That's very funny! You should send that to Jay Leno or somebody

It took me a minute to get the unintentional humor, but that is funny! Good catch.

7. Catholic chruch

lost a VAST number of people to the BRITH CONTROL issue decades ago. Sure, we all want to have as many kids as God wants.

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. Why are these 'true' wacko fundies

so afraid of death?

[jakefrep]

9. How do they know...

which Catholics are "true, devoted" Catholics? And just what does "true, devoted Catholic" mean?

As a Catholic, I find that insulting.

13. Maybe he based that on what the family did for the decease's service

[phish420]

20. True catholics

'True' catholics will not hesitate to go against the word of god and judge and expect not to be judged themselves. 'True' catholics will not hestitate to cast the first stone, even when they too have sinned. A 'True' christian will be quick to point out the thorn in your eye but pretend the log in his own is not even there.

10. I can only hope that someday my life will be as interesting

as yours!

[cestpaspossible]

12. Static on the radio?

[JVS]

16. I once heard a priest on EWTN say that the largest denomination in the...

US is "lapsed Catholics"

It seems that the people who do Catholic broadcasting are upset that they aren't being heeded enough

[UrbScotty]

17. Myself being a Catholic, I wonder how 'pro-life' he is. (nt)

[CatholicEdHead]

21. Let me guess, "Relevant Radio" or "Ave Maria Radio"?

those quasi-"born-again" "Catholic" radio stations. They are populated with former ultra-conservative Protestants that toe their own radical line.

[norml]

22. There was a time when Protestants were glad to help raise the number

of true Catholics dying every minute. Now they're not much help in that, not even in Northern Ireland.
