Well to answer your question, I have never heard it before.
I do like to think I have a good sense of humor, but to be honest with you, I actually don't find this funny at all lol, no offense.
I don't enjoy profane mockery of something that is so sacred to me and close to my heart. I think anyone would agree on that, when applied to themselves.

Even if it ends up not being true.
That's moral utilitarianism (and highly subjective)...btw. Better keep that to yourself next time you're in the confessional.
Well, there's no reason why I should, and if you think there is, then you have deeply misunderstood Catholicism and the confessional. Probably partly my fault for not being so clear on some things.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
