Encourage *your* child to become a priest...

I took a look at http://www.catholicbishops.ie/family to see what the bastards are saying to each other in their panic for the church not to go broke of this ghastly business and I came across this...

Early Vocations: Christmas Toy Ideas



It's never too early to get your child thinking about a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life. WeeBelievers.com has just the gift your little darling needs to shore up his/her commitment to the Catholic Church. Designed for ages 3-8 (according to the company Web Site) are two huggable plush vocation dolls ($29.99). They come complete with booklets about their lives and have been specially designed to encourage minority vocations. The priest doll is Fr. Juan Pablo and the nun is a morenita named Sr. Mary Clara.

It's a good job - I've never seen a priest without a decent car, the accomodation is free, the hours are short...

Of course, you would have to throw any notions of morality and ethics out the window as you spend your working life scaring the shit out of people for money.

..plus you get to molest children (..if that is your sort of thing).

When I was a server at very fine dining restaurant one of my best customers was a priest. He always brought a retinue of friends to fill out a table of at least four. He never winced at the wine list, and he always was a big tipper.

When I worked in County Down my best account customer was the local Parochial House - the priests never drank anything that cost less than £30 a bottle, and they were very knowledgable about their wine. Nice blokes, they were - but their wealth didn't look good.
