A catholic priest was giving confession one day when members of hiscongregation walked in and said, "Forgive father for I have sinned...Icheated on my husband/wife this week and I have no one else to turn to."The priest would reply, "You are forgiven my child...but try to keep fromrepeating this sinful nature."Sunday morning comes and he decides to direct his sermon to all of thosepeople who had committed adultery. The congregation was observant in thepriest's actions because he said if they couldn't do better than this hewould leave the church. The congregation liked the minister, so they came upwith a code word for every time they had committed adultery...they would gointo confession and say that they had "fallen" that week.A couple of years later, that priest had died and was replaced. It came timefor the new priest to do confessions and he noticed that many of his memberswere coming in, saying they had "fallen". The new priest was concerned abouthis congregation and took it upon himself to go to the courthouse and talkto the mayor.The priest walks into the mayor's office and says, "Mr. Mayor, you have todo something about your sidewalks and walkways in the community."The mayor looking puzzled asks, "Sidewalks?" The priest says, "Yeah. Many of your citizens have fallen this week!"The mayor realizes what the priest is talking about and says, "There's noneed to be concerned father. Don't worry about it and go home."The priest replied, "No need to worry about it...I think if anyone should beworried it should be you; even your wife has fallen 3 times this week."
