Catholic laughs

For the last thirty or so hours I've been completely engrossed in my dissertation, I have to be! Today I've been writing about a Bishop who exorcised ghosts from Oxford Road Football Club, an airport, in Thailand, who felt they were cursed and needed to be exorcised before any more planes could leave, a shoe shop who believed their shoes were possessed by a ghost, celebrities hiring exorcists so they can get married in haunted castles and a church named after Tom Jones in California that uses his music for baptisms, marriages, funerals and exorcisms!
I've just come across a joke published by a Catholic writer. Apparently he told people to lighten up on religion and get a sense of humour and everyone wrote back saying you never make fun of the Catholics! And this was what he wrote:
'Have you heard about the new method of Catholic exorcism? The mother phones the Devil to get the priest out of the child'
hehe. Having been known as 'the priestmaker' for a number of years that joke feels dangerously familiar!!
The small article then finishes with 'See, us Catholics can give it and take it. So to speak.' ahem, I'll let you decide exactly what he means by that!!
