A Priest and a Rabbi Compare Jobs

A Catholic Priest and a Jewish Rabbi were chatting one day when the conversation turned to a discussion of job descriptions and the future.
“What position do you see yourself in a couple years from now?” asked the Rabbi to the Priest.
“Well, actually, I’m next in line for the Monsignor’s job,” replied the Priest.
“Yes, and then what?” ask the Rabbi.
“Well, I could become Arch-Bishop,” said the Priest.
“Yes, and then?” asked the Rabbi.
“Well, if I work real hard and do a good job as Arch-Bishop, it’s possible to become a full Bishop” said the Priest.
“Okay, then what?” continued the Rabbi.
The Priest, beginning to be a bit exasperated replied, “With some luck and real hard work, maybe I can become a Cardinal.”
“And then?” continued the Rabbi.
The Priest is really starting to get frustrated, but replies, “With lots and lots of luck and some real difficult work and if I’m in the right place at the right time and play my political games just right, maybe, just maybe, I can get elected Pope.”
“Yes, and then what?” continued the Rabbi.
“Good grief!” shouted the Priest, “What do you expect me to become, God?”
“Well,” said the Rabbi, “One of our boys made it!”
