Joke of the Day

You should tell this old joke today on the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola – Founder of the Jesuits:

            A young man wondered if he should join the Dominicans or the Jesuits.  

A Dominican told him that the Dominicans were founded by St. Dominic in the 13^th Century to fight the Albigensian heresy, and that the Jesuits were founded by St. Ignatius in the 16^th Century to fight the Protestant heresy.  

The young man wanted to know which order was better. 

The Dominican replied by saying, “Well, when was the last time you met an Albigensian?”
