His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
Vaticano City
Italy

Dear His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI,

Any way I could get an autographed photo?

You should consider bringing back the sale of indulgences. This could be a real money maker for for The Catholic Church! I’m thinking only for venial sins, but that’s really your call.

This might help offset some of the financial losses due to the ongoing sex abuse scandals in the United States and elsewhere. Think about it.

I am enclosing one United States Dollar for the impure thoughts I constantly have. I doubt if this is enough money for them all, but it’s the gesture that counts, right?

Thanks,

Christopher L. Jorgensen

p.s. I heard that muslims now outnumber catholics. Does the Vatican have a plan to encourage more catholic women to have more babies? Perhaps it is time to allow priests and nuns to get married (not to each other of course, that would obviously be wrong).
