发帖数: 977 | 2 Many years ago, a beloved Pope died and was promoted to heaven accordingly.
Saint Peter greeted him in a firm embrace. "Welcome, your holiness, your
dedication and unselfishness in serving your fellow man during your life has
earned you great stature in heaven. You may pass through the gates without
delay and are granted free access to all parts of heaven."
St. Peter continued: "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 which 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 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!" |
