During his visit to the United States
the Pope met with President Clinton. Instead of just an hour as scheduled,
the meeting went on for two days. Finally, a weary President Clinton emerged
to face the waiting news media. The President was smiling and announced
the summit was a resounding success. He said he and the Pope agreed on
80% of the matters they discussed. Then Mr. Clinton declared he was going
home to the White House to be with his family.
A few minutes later the Pope came out to
make his statement. He looked tired, discouraged and was practically in
tears. Sadly he announced his meeting with the President was a failure.
Incredulous, one reporter asked, "But your
Holiness, President Clinton just announced the summit was a great success
and the two of you agreed on 80% of the items discussed."
Exasperated, the Pope answered, "Yes, but
we were talking about the Ten Commandments."
