So a priest and a rabbi meet... (long)

... and they start talking about their different career paths.

Rabbi:

***"Tell me: so you're a priest now. Is that it?"***

Priest:

***"Well, what do you mean? I could technically become a Bishop if I devote my whole life to god and the Pope. So there's that."***

The rabbi thinks for a second and then goes:

***"Hmmm... alright, so when you become a Bishop. Is that it?"***

The priest is a little bewildered. Nonetheless he answers:

***"Well, theoretically, really, just theoretically, if I meet all the criteria, devote myself even stronger to my faith and get the approval of all my peers I COULD... I COULD theoretically become a Cardinal."***

The rabbi nods in agreement. After a moment of silence he again asks:

***"Ok, and after you become Cardinal. Is that it?"***

The priest is getting a bit pissy at this point and says:

***"Oh, come on... this is getting ridiculous. Ok, if I am among the most devoted christians on earth, have the right connections, my peers all think highly of me and I never do anything that goes against gods will I could technically... maybe... at some point eventually even become Pope."***

Again, the rabbi nods in acknowledgement. But again, after a few seconds of thinking, he asks the priest:

***"So then you're the Pope. Is that it?***

The priest has finally had it and he shouts angrily at the rabbi:

***"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "IS THAT IT"????" DO YOU WANT ME TO BECOME GOD???"***

The rabbi keeps his calm, looks smugly the priest and says:

***"Well, you see: one of us managed."***
