Who would have thought the Pope of all people would invite a Mayan snake god to come and visit?

VATICAN CITY—In an effort to strengthen their relationship and foster interfaith dialogue, Pope Francis reportedly welcomed the winged Mayan snake god Kukulkan to the Vatican this week as part of a month-long deity exchange program. “We are excited to have the War Serpent staying here with us for the next four weeks, during which time he’ll be exposed to the rituals and customs of the Catholic Church, so that when he returns home he can share the experience with his adherents in Chichén Itzá and the surrounding Yucután communities,” said Vatican spokesperson Greg Burke, noting that the pontiff had taken Kukulkan out for pizza on the first night of the exchange before showing him around some of Rome’s most famous landmarks. “Once Kukulkan gets settled in, the pope plans to let him answer some basic prayers on his own, as well as try performing a transubstantiation or two. And perhaps toward the end of his stay, if he’s feeling up to it, Kukulkan can treat us all to an authentic human sacrifice.” Vatican sources confirmed that as part of the exchange, God Almighty, Our Heavenly Father, would be spending the next month with the Taoist thunder god Lei Gong in the cloud kingdom over Tibet.

I'm glad he's found something productive to do.

I guess it would be reasonable to call this pope "open minded." Other descriptions might include "unfocused" and "flighty."

yes, thank you I was aware of that. I guess sarcasm doesn't come across well on the forum. Those guys in the bedsheets better watch out for his tail.

You are right but that was not why I replied as I did. I did notice the sarcasm and had a quiet little chuckle at it. I replied to make sure that everybody was "in" on the humorous source for the thread. I may be wrong - maybe everybody noticed it was from the onion - but I wanted to be sure.
