As Pope Benedict XVI tours Great Britain a transcript from the year 2020 has been discovered. It appears to be the minutes of a meeting between the late Joseph Ratzinger and God:-
St Peter | As His papal representative on Earth you get a personal audience, I'll just take the minutes. |
God | Ah Ratzinger. Good To See You. This Won't Take Long Now, Just A Few Questions And We Can Process Your Application For Entrance To Heaven. |
Ratzinger | So it is true? Heaven, Hell, Jesus, St. Peter. It is all true? My faith is rewarded. |
God | Yep, It's True, We'll See About The Reward Bit At The End. |
Raztinger | Stick that Muslims. |
God | Well, I Am Their God Too. |
Ratzinger | Yes, yes, so my version, is the true faith? |
God | Well Lets See. Got A Couple Of Questions About Your Devotion, And Any Suffering For The Faith And All That. Right Now, Christianity, Have You Really Stuck To The Boy's Teachings? |
Ratzinger | I have served you both faithfully for 93 years. |
God | Let's See, Hitler Youth? |
Ratzinger | Culture of the time, I never really supported it. I was only in it for the saluting. |
God | Really? Shame? See The Jews Still Don't Recognise My Boy And Well I Am An Old Stick-In-The-Mud, So A Pogrom Against The Jews – Well I Have Been Known To Inflict A Bit Of Mass Suffering In My Time. |
Ratzinger | Well, erm, yes, it gave focus to youth, did a lot of community work. And saluting. Unflinching adherence to offensive doctrine does prepare one for a life in the Church. |
God | But The Persecution, It Wasn't Love Thy Neighbour Was It? That Was The Old Me, Fire, Brimstone, Flood. I Mellowed After The Boy Came Along, Like Many Parents. Love Everyone Was His Message. |
Ratzinger | Christ, Oh sorry. This religion lark's tricky. Erm, well the other stuff has been good. |
God | Sodomy? |
Ratzinger | Complete sin, always been against it. Definitely. |
God | Even Between Consenting Adults? Me Fearing Christian Adults? |
Ratzinger | Yes, very much so. |
God | Rape Of Children? |
Ratzinger | Of course, a sin too. |
God | I Don't Remember Saying To Defend Paedophiles, You've Spent Decades Doing That. |
Ratzinger | Well er, no hold on, that's not totally fair, I mean I had to protect the church. |
God | A Church Full Of Paedophiles - You Even Moved Them From One Parish To Another Rather Than Them Face Earthly Justice - Is That What You Were Protecting? |
Ratzinger | Well, erm. Christ. I mean. Erm. Sorry. Well really it's just following your example? |
God | My Example? This Is A New Interpretation, Even For Me! |
Ratzinger | Well you did give Mary one. And she was under-age. |
God | She Was A Girl. |
Ratzinger | Hence why homosexuality is the ultimate sin and so much worse than fiddling with a choir boy? |
God | So There Is Method To Your Madness! Bugger Me. |
Ratzinger | Christ no! Oh, sorry. Again. |
God | Any Suffering You Want To Discuss – Always Good For Heaven A Bit Of Suffering, Eh Pete? |
Ratzinger | I did a fair bit of travelling the world, spreading the Word. |
God | You Mean You Drove Around In That Ice Cream Van Of Yours, It's Hardly Being Crucified Upside Down Is It? |
Ratzinger | I wore the big hat. |
God | Taxpayers Spent Millions And You Didn't Even Give Them A Cornetto. |
Ratzinger | I did a gig with Susan Boyle? |
God | Christ! Sorry. You're In. |
