A homeless man, down on his luck, went into a Catholic church. The church was known for its rather uppity social reputation.

Spotting the man’s dirty clothes, the ushers stopped him outside the church door. One of them cleared his throat and said, “Sir, this is a very prestigious place of worship. We have a certain... standard. Perhaps you should pray about what to do before coming inside.”

The homeless man nodded and walked away.

The following Sunday, he returned, still in his tattered clothes. Again, the ushers stopped him. “Sir, did you pray about this?”

The man sighed. “Yes, I did.”

“And what did God tell you?”

The homeless man shrugged and said, “Well, to be honest, He said He’s never been inside this church either.”
