So he calls his rabbi friend and asks if he would handle his parish for a month.
The rabbi replies “I guess. I can definitely handle the sermons as I’ll just preach from the old testament but I wouldn’t have a clue what to do with the confessional.”
“Confessions are easy,” the priest says. “Just watch me and you’ll get the idea.”
So the priest goes in the confession box and a woman comes up. “Forgive me father for I have sinned. I slept with 2 men.”
The priest replies “say two Hail Marys, put a dollar in the collection box and you will be forgiven.”
The woman thanks him and leaves.
The next woman comes up:
“Forgive me father for I have sinned. I slept with 2 men.”
The priest replies “say two Hail Marys, put a dollar in the collection box and you will be forgiven.”
The woman thanks him and leaves.
The next woman approaches.
“Forgive me father for I have sinned. I slept with 2 men.”
The priest replies “say two Hail Marys, put a dollar in the collection box and you will be forgiven.”
The woman thanks him and leaves.
“This is easy,” the rabbi says. “I can handle it.”
“You take the next one and I’ll watch” the priest replies.
So the rabbi goes in the confession box and the next woman approaches.
“Forgive me father for I have sinned. I slept with a man.”
The rabbi replies “so sleep with another, they’re 2 for a dollar.”
