Just a silly old joke. "A Catholic priest, a Baptist preacher and a Methodist minister meet at a social function. The priest fills his glass and offers the Baptist some wine. "No, thank you," says the Baptist, not managing to suppress his revulsion, and adds "I think I would rather fornicate than drink alcohol." The Methodist does a take and says: "I did not know that we had a choice!""

Bless, O Lord, this creature beer, that Thou hast been pleased to bring forth from the sweetness of the grain: that it might be a salutary remedy for the human race: and grant by the invocation of Thy holy name, that, whosoever drinks of it may obtain health of body and a sure safeguard for the soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
That's from the Rituale Romanum, an official book of the Roman Rite. It's a blessing to be used on beer. Dude, I am totally memorizing the Latin version and using it whenever I drink a beer.
Being Catholic makes me awesome. In all senses of that word.

Incidentally, I have friended you back. I am flattered to bits, and I suggest you have a look at dustthouart, who was the original poster of this, whom I think you would also like. And she could do with a few more lively Catholic LJ friends.
