Diabetes

Today's Sermon We have a new priest,  from Africa.  In his inaugral sermon yeterday he told this story about Bishop Fulton Sheen, a television icon (in some circles) during the 1950's. One time, Bishop. Sheen was riding on the subway in New York City late at night when a man (who was obviously drunk) stumbled onto the car and sat right next to Bishop Sheen.  The man started to read a newspaper and leaned over to Bishop Sheen, saying, "Sir, how does one get diabetes?"  Sheen responded, "Oh, a man gets diabetes by drinking too much and paying no attention to his wife and children."  The man nodded his head and continued to read the paper.  Sheen felt bad about so harshly chastising the man and finally asked, "Sir, why did you ask me how a man gets diabetes?"  The man responded, "I was just reading in the paper how the Pope has diabetes." You had to be there I guess.
