Karl Rahner, Hans Kung, and Cardinal Ratzinger all arrived at the gates of Heaven on the same day. St Peter informed them that he had been instructed to go over a few matters with each individually before their admission.
He called Karl Rahner into the side chapel first. Five minutes later, Karl emerged, near tears, and said, "How wrong I was!"
Hans Kung was next. Half an hour later, he emerged, quiet and humbled, and murmured, "How wrong I was!"
Ratzinger was last. Six hours later, St Peter emerged, sobbing. "How wrong I was!"

"Bump, bump, bump .. another one bites the dust." Oops, sorry. Is it sacreligious to quote from Queen when responding to papal humor? Too funny ...
lol, I can't believe that!! :)
E., I would think that you would have a special appreciation for this one. Too bad you didn't read it earlier, you could have shared it with His Holiness. I wonder if he'd have laughed...?
True! It would at least have been an original conversation to have. I imagine he might have laughed but then gone on to deny it.
I'm enjoying reading your testimony. Quite a journey that God leads us on, aye. I listened to the VBCC Conversation of Faith you were on. Rome might have the truth aye? Take as much time as you like... ;)
