Doctors at Italy's prestigious Center for Papal Disease Control announced last week that the infamous Pope-Killing Virus has claimed the life of yet another pontiff. The latest victim, a Polish immigrant identified by authorities as His Holiness John Paul II, is the third pope to fall prey to the virus in as many decades. 'The tragic fact remains that, at this time, scientists know almost nothing about this terrible disease that attacks the nerve center of global Catholicism, and we are baffled as to how to fight its spread,' CPDC head Dr. Emilio Caminioni said. 'How many popes must die before a cure can be found? Can a viable treatment be discovered before another victim is claimed? These questions remain unanswered.' According to Caminioni, the deadly virus has claimed the lives of 265 people over the past 20 centuries.
