A Franciscan Monk joined, after studying Religion at University for 3 years, the staff at the Vatican in Rome.
In an interview with the administrative Cardinal, he asked what his duties would be. “My Son, you will be responsible for copying the Holy Scriptures, updating, printing and distribution to The Roman Catholic Diocese around the world.” “How will I do this your eminence?” asks the monk. “You will find the latest copy of the Holy works already in your accommodation, and you will begin work first thing tomorrow.” The next morning, there was a knock at the Cardinals office door. “Enter.” Came the voice from inside. The door opened and the young monk entered, carrying in his arms the latest edition of the Bible. “What is it, my Son?” “Your eminence,” began the monk, I was just wondering, as this edition of the Bible is only fifteen years old, how long have we been making copies of the translations of the Scriptures in this manner?” “I believe we have been using this method since the times of the Apostles. Why?” “Well, continued the monk, if this is the case, is there a possibility, at all, that over the passage of time, that some errors may have been made in the translations?” “I dare say there may have been errors made. But I doubt it, as the works were copied word for word.” The monk asked, “Your eminence, do we have the original writings anywhere here? Because I was told at university, that I was given this position because I am a perfectionist in my work, and, if possible, I would like, once again, to make my copies from the original writings.” “The Cardinal said, “I have read your university file, and I understand fully. I believe the originals are stored in the main vault under St. Peters’ Basilica. If you wish, you may continue your work there, but you must not take the papers out of the protected environment, because, as you well know, The Holy Scriptures are over 2000 years old.” The monk promised that he would conduct his work in the confines of the vault. Two weeks later, the cardinal asked his secretary if he had seen the monk. “Your eminence, I believe he is still in the vault, working on the Scriptures.” The cardinal decided that they should go and see how the monk was coping with the task. With that, the secretary and cardinal went to the vault, where they fond the monk in tears. “What is wrong, my son?” asked the cardinal. “You Fools, You Idiots,” sobbed the monk. “The word was ‘Celebrate’…’CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!'
