Bishop of Elphin defends 5th collection for Papal visit
By Shannonside News -1st November 2018
The Bishop of Elphin is defending the holding of a fifth national collection later this month to help pay the remaining costs of the visit by Pope Francis in August. The church has said that the World Meeting of Families deficit is in the region of €4 million and so far a total of €15.4 million has been raised through previous national collections and donations.
Speaking on the Joe Finnegan show this morning Bishop Doran says the money could be gathered successfully if every adult catholic and family was willing to donate the cost of a coffee or pizza. He says if enough money isn’t raised through the special collections on the 11th and 12th, the funds will have to be taken from each Diocese in the country.
Nobody can say that the catholic church isn't brazen
A penguin is driving through the desert when his car breaks down... He gets towed to a garage in the nearest town. When he gets there, the mechanic says it will take a while to check it out, so the penguin goes across the street to an ice cream parlor. He goes in and orders a large vanilla cone, then sits on the patio and eats it.
Just as he's finishing, he sees the mechanic gesture to him. He jumps up and runs across the street to get the verdict.
"Well" said the mechanic. "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No, no" replied the penguin. "That's just ice cream. What about my car?"
