From an essay on Catholic humor:
Karl Rahner, Hans Küng and Ratzinger all die on the same day, and go to meet St. Peter to find out their fates. St. Peter points at Rahner and says "Karl! In my office." After four hours, the door opens, and Rahner comes out. He is distraught, mumbling, "Oh God, that was the hardest thing I've ever done! How could I have been so wrong! So sorry." He stumbles off into heaven, a testament to the mercy of God.
Küng goes in next. After eight hours, the door opens, Küng is near collapse. He too is mumbling, "How could I have been so wrong!" as he lurches into heaven, another testament to God's mercy.
Lastly, St. Peter calls Ratzinger. Twelve hours later, the door opens and St. Peter stumbles out. "Oh, God," he says, "How could I have been so wrong?"
