Pope Francis is dreaming.
PF:Â Honored to meet you Your Majesty.
QE2:Â The honor is ours Holiness.
PF:Â Excuse me Your Majesty, but aren’t you dead?
QE2:Â We believe that is our current status.
PF:Â Are we in Heaven?
QE2: We are in Heaven and we are pleased with the plenitude of corgis here! We believe you are on Earth dreaming.
PF: I had planned a visit to England at some point. I am saddened that now I will not meet you again on that visit.
QE2:Â Likewise Holiness.
PF:Â I will not miss being bitten by your corgis!
QE2: Dear Philip used to joke about that! We are afraid that we had to give up almost all our corgis a few years before our death.  Too lively and exhausting. We missed them.
PF:Â I assume you have been reunited with your Prince?
QE2: Alas, Philip is on detached duty but we will eventually be reunited. (Pauses.) We confess that we are surprised how correct you Catholics were about the world to come, although we often suspected in life that might be the case.
PF:Â Will your son make a good King?
QE2: We have every confidence in our successor. (Sotto Voce) So long as he doesn’t begin talking to plants again.
PF:Â How many Prime Ministers served you?
QE2: Five, there were fifteen of them altogether. Oh, this is jolly good fun! We could never speak freely in life!
PF:Â How is the food in Heaven?
QE2: Superb! Much better than English cuisine. (Laughs) Of course that is a low bar.
PF:Â Have you seen Him?
QE2: Why that is what Heaven is all about! We are seeing Him now!
PF:Â Could you describe Him?
QE2: But of course. He–
And with that Pope Francis woke up, wishing his vivid dream had endured for a bit longer.
Aw, and I wanted so to see if she conferred knighthood on him.
Pope Francis got to Heaven before Philip? 🙄
Ezabelle, it was a dream by PF.. and thank you, Don. That was fine.
The only knighthood PF has earned is that of Knight-Mare.
It’s a pity he woke up before QE II described God for him, because if he continues the line he is taking, he is unlikely to see Him.
