The Pope decided he needed a yacht, so he could travel to distant lands that are only accessible by boat. But unlike some before him, this Pope did not want to spend the hard-earned money of his flock on a lot of unnecessary luxury, so he instructed his staff to find an economical craft - he said that a used boat might be best, and a sail boat would reduce the money spent on fuel. Besideds, he loved sailing since he was a child.
After some effort, his team found a nice 40 foot sail boat, and the owner was a Catholic so he gave the Pope an extra nice deal. They bought the boat, and got it all cleaned up for the Pope. He named it "Holy Ghost" because it came with "a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."
On the first trip, the Pope took the boat to the islands of Greece. Unfortunately, as they lay at anchor in a shallow harbor overnight to sleep, the wind shifted and the waves picked up. Unbeknownst to the crew, there were some shallow rocks that they hadn't noticed, and the boat came up on the rocks. Very quickly the rocks began to break into the hull in several places, and water began rushing in!
Fortunately, as the boat began breaking up on the rocks, the crew got the Pope and all of the important things into the dinghy and headed for the island. The Pope looked back as they went, and saw that a huge chunk of the hull had been completely torn away, leaving the entire inside of the boat open to the sea. He mournfully said, "That is without doubt a wholly holey Holy Ghost."
