Heavenly Library
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 Saint
Peter who 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."
"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."
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 man's relationship with God.
Two years later a scream of anguish pierced the stacks of
the library. Immediately several of the Saints and Angels
game running to the Pope's side to learn the cause of his
dismay.
There they found the Pope pointing to a single word on a
parchment, Repeating over and over, "There's an 'R',
There's an 'R'!!!"
"Look, the word is celibrate, not celibate!"
