My son, the Pope?
The short-list for a successor to the present Pope includes Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger of Paris. Lustiger was born Jewish and converted to Catholicism during WWII.
There are those that say that a person born a Jew is always a Jew no matter what religion that person may practice. If, when they announce "Habemus papam", the choice is Lustiger there will be some interesting theological discussions. And, some jokes.
I'm looking forward to Letterman's Top 10 List of things a Jewish Pope would do differently.

I'm not at all sure what religion Jesus practiced if he practiced any specific branch of religion. Certainly not Catholicism. Religions were based on the teachings of Jesus, but not on the religio

Old joke.
How do we know Jesus was Jewish?
He lived at home until he was thirty, he went into his father's business, and his mother thought he was ***.

Judaism, Coop. Geez.
[nq:1]Of course, I should add that the above is a comment of a person that is hardly a religious history ... I'm concerned, most of what most people take as gospel is based on a series of short stories with morals.[/nq]
Aesop's Fables ?
