The Pope abdicates


This could all be apocryphal, but supposedly Churchill was addressing Stalin in 1944 and told Stalin it was important to recognize the spiritual values of the Polish people.  According to Stalin’s interpreter, Churchill said, “We cannot allow internal developments there to complicate our relations with the Vatican.”

Stalin replied, “How many divisions does the Pope have?”
