Catholics Are HILARIOUS!
A joke about the (supposed) rivalry between the Dominicans and the Jesuits from the blog, The Hermeneutic of Continuity:
"The Dominicans were founded by St Dominic to fight the heresy of Albigensianism. The Jesuits were founded by St Ignatius Loyola to fight Protestantism... So when did you last meet an Albigensian? "
Well I don't know. Fr. Hardon says:
"The Albigenses followed Manichaean dualism in its attempt to solve the problem of evil. They asserted the co-existence of two ultimate principles, a good deity (the God of the New Testament) who created Spirit and Light, and a bad deity (the God of the Old Testament) who created Matter and Darkness. Accordingly, they condemned marriage and the procreation of children as demoniac. Yet concubinage was tolerated as less permanent than matrimony; and desertion of husband or wife was called praiseworthy."
Maybe they are not so scarce on the ground as supposed...
