Here's another Father Chris O'Connor joke. The pope wouldn't go out to greet the press. His secretary said, "You have to, Holy Father. The New York Times is there. Along with CNN, ABC, MSNBC, FOX news, the London Times, etc. C'mon, Holy Father."
The pope absolutely refused. "Why won't you meet the press?"
"They make up the news. They misconstrue everything I say and do. Remember last week when I was greeting the refugees who had just crossed the Mediterranean. A child fell off the boat and was being swept away in the waves. I walked across the water and rescued him. The next day the news reported that I didn't know how to swim!"
