> After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"

> The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our laws."
> The priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?"

>
> The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."
>
> The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"
>
> The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my
