Talk to the Deacon...

Time for more awful jokes everyone's favourite billion-member strong religious institution; the Catholic Church!
----------------------------------------------------------------

A large middle-aged man walks into a Catholic church. Clearly in a unclear state of mind, he shakily pulls himself over to the confessional, slides open the door and sits himself down inside the darkened cubicle. The voice of a young priest greets him.

"How can I help you today? Have you come to confess?" he asks.

The man takes a good pause and slowly and appreshensively speaks up.

"Yes. I...I have something to confess. It's pretty major." he responds with a stutter.

The priest stares waitingly, drawing his breath, and listening with the greatest intent to the words of his confessor.

"I..." The man stops, and take a long pause of hesitation, followed by a deep breath.
"I'm a pedophile. I like little boys and girls."

The priest breaths a sigh of relief and responds in a polite and cheery tone.
"I'm sorry, sir, I just work in the confessional. If you want to apply to become a member of the clergy, you'll need to talk to the deacon."
