VATICAN CITY—President Biden emerged from his meeting with Pope Francis greatly relieved and brimming with joy, claiming that the Holy Father had requested Biden’s son, the great artist Hunter, repaint the dated Sistine Chapel ceiling.
“We’ve been planning a remodel for about 1,000 years,” the Pope reportedly told President Biden, “but we just never felt we had the right artist. It would be an honor to have such a devout Catholic and brilliant child prodigy complete the epic task.”
The Papal Committee for Making the Church More Culturally Relevant (PCFMTCMCR) has been seeking ways to make the church more acceptable to pro-choice communist environmentalists. A more difficult task, however, has been the modernization of Vatican City to make it more up-to-date and seeker-sensitive to people who have the archaic notion that the Catholic Church teaches the Bible and is not in favor of sins like abortion.
“I Googled ‘Sistine Chapel’ and Wiki says it was painted in like the 1500s and its time to update it,” said renowned artist Hunter Biden to reporters. “I promise to pour all my incredible talents into this project and will only ask for a modest fee of $30 million.”
Go here to read the rest. From Purgatory the Warrior Pope, Julius II thundered, That will occur over the dead body of Papa Francis! From Heaven artist Michelangelo mildly asked, Are all you people on dope?
“Holy Father had requested Biden’s son, the great artist Hunter, repaint the dated Sistine Chapel ceiling.”
That would be grounds for excommunication. I think my heart nearly seized reading this. Good grief.
The pope calls me out of the blue complaining about Biden. He says, “The guy’s my ally but he can’t stop sniffing everything. It’s like he’s sniffing for drugs. If he’s sniffing for drugs, he ought to start with that dumbass kid of his, Hunter. That gringo needs to lay off the paco!” I said, “It’s actually crack, but point taken.” The pope sighs, “Ah, whatever! That kid’s more than a few beans short of a burrito, just like his old man.” I said, “You got that right, Holiness!” He groans, “What is with you gringos? You elected a senile old man who can’t control his bowels.” I told him, “Don’t yell at me, Holy Father! I voted for the orange dude.” He the proceeded to yell, “pendejo” at the top of his lung and a half and hung up.
Ha! Greg good to see the Pope’s crankiness is consistent and dished out equally to all.
Hunter would be the perfect match to do the Sistine ceiling because they are both so high.
