“He’s the Pope. He’s the Ex-Pope. They’re private detectives.”
Benny: “It will take a miracle to solve this case!”
Francis: “Good thing they called us in!”
“Pope and Pope, Thursdays at 8, on Fox!”
Alternately, Benedict XVI was secretly studying forensic pathology in his spare time, and resigned to follow his true calling, in which case it gets named CSI: Vatican City.
