An Augustinian, a Franciscan and a Jesuit die and end up at the Pearly gates together. Jesus asks each, “If you could go back, what would you change?”
The Augustinian ponders for a minute and says, “There’s so much sin in the world. If I went back, I’d try and make people behave better.”
The Franciscan says, “There’s so much poverty in the world. If I went back, I’d try and get people to share more of their wealth with the poor.”
The Jesuit looks at Jesus and quickly replies, “If I went back, I’d change doctors.”

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had open heart bypass surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at a Catholic hospital.
As he was recovering, a nun asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment. She asked, “Do you have health insurance?”
He replied in a raspy voice, “No health insurance.”
The nun asked a second question, “Do you have money in the bank?”
He replied, “No money in the bank.”
The nun then asked, “Do you have a relative who could help you?”
He thought for a moment, then said, “I only have a spinster sister who is a nun.”
The nun became agitated and said loudly, “Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God.”
The patient replied, “Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law.”
