"Ahem - that's Pope Peil I, pocket-fisher of men. He's already granted me a Cardinalship, based upon his adoption of my suggestion for a new baptismal mode (spray-on)."

Yes, and what of the multitude of indulgences granted for those attaining a holey-in-one on the proposed papal par 3 course?

Golf - played Catholic or Protestant - is a sport that eludes me. I will, however, be proposing a large, impeccably polished sheet of lexan be mounted vertically and diagonally along the 17th hole fairway (just between the revolving windmill and the giant paper-mache Flow-Bee obstacles), so as to invisibly ricochet golf balls deep into the carefully-placed water trap. Golfers are then given the option of paying the requisite indulgence fees, or they may consider a direct retrieval of their ball. If they choose the latter, we will count it as baptism.
