It’s common knowledge that St. Peter guards the pearly gates. But what many people might not know is Pope Francis used to guard the door at a bar in Argentina.

That’s right: Pope Francis used to be a bar bouncer.

The 76-year-old pontiff disclosed his previous vocation in a parish visit to the church of San Cirillo Alessandrino in a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Rome on Sunday, the Catholic News Service reported.

The nugget from Francis’ past, when he used to be known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was disclosed during a four-hour conversation, in which the pope also mentioned he used to sweep floors and run tests in a chemical laboratory as a teenager.

I’ve always looked at Luther as though he bounced himself out of the priesthood leaving his calling card hung on a nail on the door. LOL!

Bouncer: “You’re outta here, go home,clean up your life and ask God to forgive you”.

Drunk: “Oh yeah, well who made you the Pope?”

"Actually, a bar bouncer may be exactly what we need, to clean out the Vatican and retire the worst dissident bishops."

With that kind of background, when he gets around to clearing out the queer happenings in the Curia, here are some of the sounds you might hear (with the words slightly modified here and there):

• "Hit The Road Jack"

• "You're Outta Here!"

• "Boom Boom, Out Go The Lights"

I saw where somebody did a parody of the “Roadhouse” poster with Pope Francis’ face shopped over Patrick Swayze’s. Which led me to suggest a new regnal motto:

“Always be nice…until it’s time to not be nice.”
