On Popes Meeting In Heaven

Pope Pius:
Wow, heaven sure is a wonderful and beautiful place.

Pope Innocent:
No denying that.

Pope Pius:
Hey, I want to tell you… I’m sorry that I accused you of being guilty of abusing the power of the papacy.

Pope Innocent:
Well, fair enough, but I also need to apologize for accusing you of not being sufficiently spiritual or religious.

Pope Pius:
I mean, what was I thinking, accusing you of not being innocent?

Pope Innocent:
What was I thinking, accusing you of not being pious?

Pope Pius:
After all, you are innocent!

Pope Innocent:
And you are pious!

Pope Pius:
Alright, well I’m glad we got that settled. I’ve got to go have a similar talk with Pope Leo.

Pope Innocent:
Oh? What happened between you two?

Pope Pius:
Well, I got his birthday all wrong, it turns out he was actually born between July 23 and August 22.

Pope Innocent:
Well, go with the grace of God.

God:
Sheesh, you’re talking about me as if I’m not right here.

Popes:
Sorry!

Trumpets of Heaven:
Wanh Waaaannnh!
