A Catholic Bishop went to the wilderness, camping with friends. Suddenly, a young woman wearing a "Tree-hugger" shirt and a cap that said "Save the Wilderness" rushed into the campground, pursued by a grizzly bear. The bear seized the woman who tried to defend herself by hitting it with a "Save the Owls" placard.
As the Bishop watched horrified, a group of hunters came racing up.
One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear’s chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding semiconscious leftist from the bear’s grasp. Using long clubs, the hunters finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured tree hugger in the back seat.
The Bishop, impressed, summoned them. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between you NRA members and these environmental activists. Now I see with my own eyes that this is not true. You are truly kind and compassionate gentlemen. You have saved that girl's life." And the Bishop walked away.
One of the hunters said to his buddies, "Who the hell was that guy?"
"Oh, he's our Bishop," said his friend. "A very wise man."
"Well," the first hunter said, "He might know all about wisdom and forgiveness, but he don't know shit about baiting bears."
