Once upon a time an Irish Jesuit was trying to be a trendy catechist with the communion class in Junior School. In his Religion Education class he drew an analogy from his science class about how all parents feed their young.
He asked the class, “What’s small and furry and eats nuts?”
To which there was bemused silence. So Father tried again.
“What’s small and furry and eats nuts?”
There was now stony silence. Father then picked out Billy and asked him for the answer. After several awkward moments, Billy tentatively replied,
“Father, this is religion, and I know the answer to all your questions in religion is “Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”.............. but it sounds like a bloody squirrel to me.”
