Catholic Late Night

[Ten great one-liners from **St.** John XXIII](http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1401197.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). My favorites:

When a cardinal complained that a rise in Vatican salaries meant a particular usher earned as much as the cardinal, the pope remarked: "That usher has 10 children; I hope the cardinal doesn't."

He once wrote: "There are three ways to face ruin: women, gambling and farming. My father chose the most boring one."

Visiting a hospital he asked a boy what he wanted to be when he grew up. The boy said either a policeman or a pope. "I would go in for the police if I were you," the Holy Father said. "Anyone can become a pope, look at me.

In reply to a reporter who asked, "How many people work in the Vatican?", he reportedly said: "About half of them."
