The Pope's Surprise

"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 God and
the prophets of old? I would love to see what was actually said, without the
dimming of memories over time."

St. 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 humanity's relationship with God.

Two years later, a scream of anguish pierced the quiet of the library.
Immediately several of the saints and angels came running.

They found the Pope pointing to a single word on a parchment, repeating over
and over: "There's an 'R'. There's an 'R.' There's an 'R'... It's CELIBRATE, not
celibate!"
