Hat tip to Sister M , singer of chants and teller of jokes...

So, the bishop walks into a church....
Actually, he arrives to confirm the 8th graders, little catechetical quiz first, you know the drill.
"So, can anyone tell me, Who God is?"
Little Becky has laryngitis, but waves her hand wildly.
"Yes, my child?"
She croaks out in a tiny voice, "He is One God in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost."
His excellency cannot hear, and asks, "What, my child?"
She takes a deep breath and tries again, in her raspy voice, "He is One God in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost."
"My child, I am sorry, I still don't understand."
"Oh, that's okay Bishop, it's a mystery you're not SUPPOSED to understand it!"

But speaking of bishops, never had the urge to pay my respects by kissing a bishop's ring before.
Excellent sermon, meticulous, inspiring Mass. (Three cheers for Fr Scott Haynes of the Canons Regular of St JC, as well....)
You may know about His Excellency from such activities as this, chronicled by the Catholic Caveman this past spring. http://catholic-caveman.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-extraordinary-american-bishop.html
(This, by the way was NOT an EF.)
Anyway, in case you don't know about him, here thanks to Wikipedia.

He serves on the episcopal advisory board of the Institute for Religious Life. At the annual meeting of the U.S. bishops in Baltimore in November, 2006, in the course of consideration of the document which issued as "Happy Are Those Who Are Called to His Supper" he proposed to the gathered bishops that the use of contraception should be included in a list of thoughts or actions constituting grave matter.The proposal was defeated, although a separate document approved at the meeting mentioned that the Catholic Church says that "contraception is objectively immoral."
