New Twist on an Old Joke

Hat tip to Dirty Catholic:

"There were four country churches in a small Idaho town: The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church and the Catholic Church. Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

In the Baptist Church the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But -- The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter."

Why does Idaho have so many vocations?

There is a post on Opiniated Catholic asking the question: Why does Idaho have a bumper crop of priests? It is sad that 6 men at one time is a bumper crop these days, but that is a discussion for another day.
As many of us already know, Bishop Driscoll has asked that the faithful of Idaho pray during Eucharistic Adoration for more priests.
Also, Father Jairo has done an amazing job as Vocation Director. Of course it is the Lord doing the work, but He is doing it through Father Jairo.
