The rabbi responded: Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.The priest then asked: Have you ever eaten pork?To which the rabbi replied: Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich. The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest: Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?The priest replied: Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.The rabbi then asked him: Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?The priest replied: Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith. |
