An Early Draft Of Pope Benedict’s Apology

Category: Humor, Religion

A contact whom I am sworn not to identify fished this remarkable document out of a Vatican wastebasket. I think it shows the struggle of the Holy Father to find the appropriate language:

My dear Muslim brothers and sisters,

I am sorry. I am sorry that ~~you excitable morons~~ my fellow believers in God have ~~gotten their panties in a wad~~ taken offence with my remarks, which were made only ~~to see if I could make you dance like monkeys~~ in the spirit of ecumenical outreach.

It was certainly not my intent to call into question the peaceable nature of Islam. ~~It does a pretty good job of that all by itself.~~ Or sully the memory of the Prophet, Mohammad. ~~Ditto.~~

In conclusion, I would just like to say, ~~eat my shorts~~ let us move forward from this moment together in our common humanity.

~~Bite me,~~ Sincerely,

Benedict
