Not The Philosopher Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I am now studying at a seminary - not to be ordained, but to get my Masters. So far I have heard: "I hope nobody steals my wife" in reference to leaving his breviary on top of the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah, you're not married to the church. You're married to that darn book with the stupid ribbons. She's a real nag. :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) More from the profs! Talking about the colonization of FL by the Spaniards in the 18th/19th centuries: "Could the Fountain of Youth legend explain why hundreds of old people keep flocking to Florida?" Talking about reasons why the Divinity of Christ is essential Christian doctrine: ""Jesus Christ loves you!" Great! Does George Washington love me, too? There has to be a reason why Christ's love matters." "Jesus love you, but the Buddha loves you, too. But the Buddha isn't the Second Person of the Trinity."

AnneLine Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 certainly the professors should be able to do better than this?! We had some zingers at my Public college: My favorites was when one of the philosophy professors, when caught in a logic error by a student, extended his hands in a cross shape and, smiling at the student who had caught him, said, "Sharp nails, please". he he he all the Catholics started giggling... the others didn't get it....

BigJon16 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 What amazed me most about seminarians when I visited the seminary last November (And I'm going to again this November) is that they acted no different than the average college guy. Their rooms were messy, they joked about each other and hung out with each other like normal guys do, it just wasn't what I was really expecting them to be like. I found it more appealing because of that, really. And that's whats awesome about the college seminary--we aren't really any different then your average guy's guys. You'd fit in really well.. "Is this the line for breakfast?" "No, it's the greeting line to see Cardinal Dolan.." "Oh...But I just want food.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
