This’ll make me convert.

A driver is loading the Pope’s luggage into his car on his recent
return from abroad when he notices the Pope standing beside him.
“Excuse me, Your Holiness” says the driver, “Would you please take your seat so we can leave?”
“Well,” says the Pope, “They have never let me drive a car since I became Head of the Catholic Church and as I don’t feel I have much time left on this earth I want to drive back to the Vatican.”
The driver is naturally very concerned but seeing the frailty of the old man and that it might be one of his last wishes he reluctantly agrees and proceeds to sit in the back seat while the Pope takes the wheel.
After leaving the airport terminal the Pope puts his foot down and is soon roaring through the streets of Rome at over 100-mph.
“Please slow down Your Holiness!” screams the driver but the Pope is oblivious to his request and goes even faster.
Out of nowhere a traffic cop arrives with sirens blazing and the Pope reluctantly pulls over and winds down his window.
The cop takes one look at him and immediately gets on his radio to HQ. “Put me through to the Chief urgently.” says the cop. He tells his boss that he has just stopped a limo traveling at over 120-mph.
“So bust the driver.” says the Chief.
“I don’t think we really want to do that sir he’s a VIP”
‘Well who is it’ says the Chief, ‘the Mayor?’.
“No, he’s more important than that” says the cop.
“The President?”
“No, even bigger”
“Well” says the Chief, “who the hell is it?”
“I think it might actually be God.” replies the cop.
Chief: “What makes you think it’s God?’
Cop : “He’s got the bloody Pope as his chauffeur!”
