A Dominican and a Jesuit...no, this is not a joke! Fr. Gerald Albert Buckley, OP, visits his brother, Fr. Cornelius Buckley, SJ, at Thomas Aquinas College on the occasion of Fr. Cornelius' 90th birthday. Ad multos annos, Father!

Our own Fr. Gerald Buckley, OP, surprised his older brother, Fr. Cornelius M. Buckley, SJ, down at Thomas Aquinas College on the occasion of Fr. Cornelius' 90th Birthday today.

Truly, two great men in their respective orders!

I LOVE the brothers Fathers Buckley! 

Fr. Cornelius Buckley has a sense of humor like no other. He also makes all the best Jesuit jokes.

This is not particularly humorous, but it's an insight into the life of a particular a Trappist monastery. From New Melleray, November 16 2015: 

The abbot invited community members to participate in an 'Altar Wine tasting' in anticipation of our next restocking order.
Judging criteria included: Appearance/Color, Aroma, Taste and Texture, Aftertaste, and Overall Impression.
Rating options were: 5=excellent, 4=good, 3=acceptable, 2=deficient, 1=poor, and 0=objectionable.
"Monastic Red" came out the "winner" of the three wines tasted.

I think that's pretty hilarious.
