The Pope arrives in heaven, where St. Peter awaits him. St. Peter asks who he is.
The Pope: "I am the pope."
St. Peter: "Who? There's no such name in my book."
The Pope: "I'm the representative of God on Earth."
St.Peter: "Does God have a representative? He didn't tell me ..."
The Pope: "But I am the leader of the Catholic Church ..."
St. Peter: "The Catholic church ... Never heard of it ... Wait, I'll check with the boss."
St. Peter walks away through Heaven's Gate to talk with God.
St. Peter: "There's a dude standing outside who claims he's your representative on earth."
God: "I don't have a representative on earth, not that I know of ... Wait, I'll ask Jesus." (yells for Jesus)
Jesus: "Yes father, what's up?"
God and St. Peter explain the situation.
Jesus: "Wait, I'll go outside and have a little chat with that fellow."
Ten minutes pass and Jesus reenters the room laughing out loud. After a few minutes St. Peter asks Jesus why he's laughing.
Jesus: "Remember that fishing club I've started 2000 years ago? It still exists!"
Don't mean to offend anyone with this:
What do you call a book club that has been stuck on the same book for thousands of years?
A Church.

Overexplaination to ruin the joke:
There's a classic set of jokes that's centered around describing how different religions/religious representatives behave. They typically all start out as something like "a priest, a pastor, and a rabbi all walk into a bar...". In this case, however, the third character was a "rabbit", and the joke was set at a blood donation clinic to facilitate the punchline, which was that the third character was simply a typo (via "type O").
Ah, it makes sense now. Thanks!
Joke was good after I read it twice; I'm more impressed by the thread resurrection.
I tried telling a joke to a kleptomaniac with no arms, but he just couldn't take it.
