The Ironic Catholics as a series of It’s cold in the old Church tonight” jokes to which I add:
- Multiple people chipped fingernails reaching into the frozen Holy Water font.
- It is reported that in some parishes more people actually made it to the end of Mass as the church was warmer than braving the cold out in the parking lot.
- Inculturation lead to statues being dressed in snow parkas to fit in including mittens for the Infant Jesus Of Prague statue.
- Coffee and donuts were cancelled in the Parish Hall in favor of Hot Chocolate and donuts Flambé.
- The sound of twigs snapping turns out to be people’s fronzen joints at they make the Sign of the Cross and kneel.

Many are cold but few are frozen.
Here in the Southern Hemisphere, where temperatures hover somewhere over 100F, ( as we say in the old scale), father in his robes is hotter than most of the congregation and only the new curate has given a sermon even approaching ten minutes.
