A young Catholic girl was dating a boy who was not the least bit interested in church. Her mother was very alarmed so she demanded that her daughter do everything possible to win the fellow over to the faith.

After the first date, the mom said, “How did it go?”

“Very well,” said the daughter. “I persuaded him to go to mass all next month.”

After the next date the mother persisted, “How is it going?” The daughter said, “Better, I convinced him to join the catechism class.”

Several days later and the mother knew that wedding bells were about to ring. But she insisted that the young man first join the church and be baptized. To her surprise he consented.

Then the day of the wedding arrived and the daughter rushed out of the bridal room in tears. The mother said, “Dear, what’s the matter?” She replied, “I think we oversold him on the church. He decided to become a priest!”

What do you think, is it possible to take one’s faith too far?
