If LMFAO were Catholic / Orthodox would they have named the song, “Contrite for Party Rocking”?

So our sower sows so-so. So what?

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

In this Bible story (Matthew 13), a crowd gathers to hear Jesus teach, so He tells them a bunch of parables about the Good News and the Kingdom of God. He says He's teaching in parables because their hidden meanings will reveal themselves to those who are ready to hear, but conceal themselves from those who are not. In the first parable He tells, a sower (someone who plants seed) is sowing seed in fertile soil, but he's tossing seed so generously that some also lands on ground that's not ideal for planting -- places where it'll be eaten by birds, or unable to grow deep roots, or choked by thorns. When Jesus explains the parable later, He says the seed represents the Word of the Kingdom of God; the fertile soil represents souls ready to hear it, take it in, and put it into practice; and the other soils represent souls who are in some way deficient in their reception or dedication to the Word.

In this cartoon, Jesus tells the parable, which is somewhat summarized for the sake of flow. A man in the crowd listens and is confused by the sower's over-abundant sowing because, despite the fact that some of the seed lands on fertile soil, he's also wasting some on soil that won't properly receive it. Of course, with the knowledge of the meaning BEHIND the parable, we realize that the man is, without realizing, critiquing the real sower (Jesus) for wasting seed (the Word of the Kingdom through His teachings) on soil that won't properly receive it (the man, himself). It's terribly ironic, and that makes it funny. Do not question me.

The best thing comes in Three.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

In Christianity, we say we have one God revealed in three Persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They are distinct in their relationship to each other: the Father generates, the Son is begotten, and the Holy Spirit proceeds. Yet They all fully embody the same divine nature and will. The Trinity is the central mystery of Christianity, which proclaims that Jesus is fully God and fully man and came to marry our human nature to His divine one, inviting us into the eternal reality of God through mutual love.

In this cartoon, a child articulates the Trinity according to her limited understanding by relating each divine Person to one of the priests in her local parish. She thinks of God as an old man, as depicted in art like "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo, and compares Him to the oldest priest. She thinks of Jesus as a kindly teacher, as depicted in many child-focused Bible studies, and relates Him to her favorite priest. And since education about the role and power of the Holy Spirit is often lacking or puts less focus on Him than on the creator Father or savior Son, she thinks of the Holy Spirit as a tiny and unimpressive dove, and compares Him to the youngest and least impressive priest, saying he's "small and doesn't do a lot." The young priest is shocked at this harsh assessment. Meanwhile, in Heaven, the Holy Spirit is similarly mortified by the naive critique, which almost causes Jesus to fall over laughing.
