"The pope in heaven" joke
There was a Pope who was greatly loved by all of his followers, a man who led with gentleness, faith and wisdom. His passing was grieved by the entire world, Catholic or not.
As the Pope approached the gates of heaven it was St. Peter himself who greeteed him with a firm embrace
"Welcome your holiness, your dedication and unselfishness in serving your fellow man during your life has earned you great statue in heaven. You may pass through The Gates without delay and are granted free access to all parts of heaven. You are also granted an open door policy and may at your own discretion meet with any heavenly leader, including the Father without prior appointment.
Is there anything your Holiness desires?
"Well yes" the Pope replied. " I have often pondered some of the mysteries which have puzzled and confounded theologians through the ages. Are there perhaps any transcripts which recorded the actual conversations between The Lord and the prophets of old? I would love to see what was actually said, without the dimming of memories over time.
Saint Peter immediately ushered the Pope to the heavenly library and explained how to retrieve the various documents. The Pope was thrilled and settled down to review the history of mans relationship with The Lord.
Two years later, a scream of anguish pierced the stacks of the library.
Immediately several of the Saints and Angelsa came running. There they found the Pope pointing to a single word on a parchment repeating over and over.
"There's an "R" in it!!!... There's an "R" in it!!!... There's an "R" in it!!!
It's... It's....It's CELEBRATE not celebate.
