When the priest saw them, he whispered to the little acolyte, "Get three chairs for the Protestants!" The boy looked stunned and sat down. The priest pointed in the back to where the clergymen were standing and repeated, "Get three chairs for the Protestants." The confused boy still stared back blankly.

This is the first time this has ever been done in a Catholic church, but let's all stand and give three cheers for the Protestants!" Perhaps it's time to give three cheers to those of another faith. And while we're at it, let's applaud those of other cultures and races, too! What a beautiful world it is when all are truly part of one glorious family! And after all, if God doesn't love variety, why is there so much of it? |
