The story so far

John Paul 2 died.
The direct cause seems to have been when a young, sincere priest
posed a very difficult moral question namely: "Your Holiness what
would you do if you came across a Australian refugee fleeing from an
extremely heartless regime in a leaking and sinking fishing boat?"
The Pope gasped, departed this mortal coil and left the answer for
his successor. It has been noted many ambitious potential successors
are hurriedly leaving Rome.

Meanwhile the Pope arrived at the pearly gates
where a smiling St Peter met him and wanted to
show him in. John Paul II, being an honest man
said: "Maybe you have not yet heard the reason
I checked out below. I dodged a hard moral question".
When St Peter heard the story he said:
Wait here and I'll ask God.

He returned looking grim. St Peter said
to the Pope: I told God about it and He
said it was a very difficult moral dilemma
and even He needed a second opinion!
It looks like you will have suffer in
purgatory as He is now in a conference with
the Devil and He will be quite a while.

When God finally appeared in the Judgement Room
He muttered before handing out His Judgement:
"If I told those bloody Australians
the story of the Good Samaritan once,
I told them a thousand times but they
just don't _get_ it."

GOD'S JUDGEMENT Fanfare by a thousand angels!!

All struck silent and God spake:

"These sentences may seem long to earthlings listening
but at the end of your day, in Our final analysis,
the bottom line is: We are talking infinity here.

The Pope is to suffer in purgatory for 10.000 times the
total lifespan of all the Tampa refugee children.
This as warning and deterrence to all church leaders
who follow that same path in the past/now/in future.
I can see he did not have any participation in the
Tampa case deadly sin but he squibbed in his duty
to give moral guidance later and that is worse than
the ones who commit a mortal sin because of defects
of character.

Anyone must rescue anyone if in need. But in this case it is necessary for Me to let the Australian shipwrecked victim drown anyway, after all who would in this day and age take in an Australian outcast. He will then go to Purgatory + 100 times the above children's lifetime span on top of any outstanding sentence. This sentence would have been more severe, as seen later in this judgement, but for the repentance shown by his attempted escape.

All other Australians in agreement with the sinful temporary 'final solution' [Tampa variety]
+1000 times of above defined period.

Those not in agreement 200 times for collective guilt.
In the hereafter you don't get away with anything done/not done
in your lifetime.
All sentences to be served in addition to any other punishment accrued.

I give My Love to all creatures, and you know Me, I can't help Myself in My Infinite Love and must even include skunks and in the Australian context: cane toads, all those Australian schlemiel now featuring as a majority in talk-backs and polls and then all the way down to their Prime Minister.

This shall be My Judgement.
No appeal can be entered as there is no Higher Court.
I am thou Godfather or Boss man, baby.

I shall release over time full disclosure of my
unprecedented morality conference with the Devil".

"May I bless You"

Which God then did, still shaking His Head.
Stage right and of course he bumped into
St Peter who always took position on
God's right hand side.
