REVERSE-ENGINEERED POPE JOKE

(written so that there would actually be a joke to go with Hippie's punchline.
As such, it's not actually very funny):

So this man walks up to the Pope and says, "Holy Father, I've sinned by committing
adultery and lusting after many women...now I'm afraid of going to Hell."

And the Pope says, "It is never too late to repent, my son."

So another guy comes up to the Pope and says, "Your Holiness, I have committed the
sins of murder and theft. Now I'm afraid I'm going to Hell."

And the Pope says, "You can still be saved, my son, through God's grace."

A third man comes up to the Pope and says, "Pope, I've been pretty good, except I've
made vicious fun of the Church in general and you personally. Now I'm a bit worried I'll
go to Hell."

And so the Pope says, "Make sure it's piping hot."

Ta-da! There's the joke. Kind of.
