The Vatican has been forced into an embarrassing confession that Pope Francis has been fraudulently passing himself off as an arbitrator of good and bad behaviour, while gorging on turkey-stuffing and sherry. The Pope has been caught dressed in a false beard appearing at grottos and shopping malls, demanding mince pies and only the ‘prettiest of elves’.
Leaked papers suggest that for decades a whole series of Popes had been taking credit for Father Christmas’ efforts, often disguising their popemobile as a sleigh. To make matters worse these Popes have been illicitly stealing kisses under the mistletoe, yet with no evidence of any pontiff delivering any presents - other than the timeless gift of ‘Catholic guilt’.
