    Somehow I doubt they'd appreciate that.

    Dunno - think I got away with that or the Pope would be in right trouble by now

    So I see the comedian got away with it anyway. Yay.
    A Rome prosecutor suspected the comments broke a law protecting the honor and dignity of the leader of 1.1 billion Roman Catholics under a 1929 Italian treaty with the Vatican.

    But the treaty, signed by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, required government approval before the investigation could go forward. Justice Minister Angelino Alfano decided to block it.

    Yeah, the higher ups said they had faith in the pope's capacity for forgiveness.
