And if that wasn’t enough holy hilarity for one day, there’s the story of a priest who was once pulled over for speeding. As the officer approached the vehicle, he was hit by the strong scent of alcohol and spotted an empty wine bottle on the floorboard.
“Have you been drinking, Father?” the officer asked, clearly suspicious.
“No, officer, just water,” the priest responded, trying to sound as composed as possible.
The officer squinted. “Then why does it smell like wine?”
The priest glanced down at the bottle, widened his eyes, and exclaimed, “Blessed be! He’s done it again!”
These lighthearted tales serve as a joyful reminder: even the most devout among us are still human. And sometimes, whether it’s a Papal joyride or a divine mix-up, a little humor goes a long way. After all, laughter can be just as holy as a hymn.
