Aliens came to Earth from Mars and they turned out to be quite friendly. All the countries in the world agreed that they would send the Pope to talk with the alien leaders.

The Pope walked up to the spaceship, greeted by a few aliens, and started conversing.
"I know this question may sound odd," the pope starts to ask, "but I was wondering if you and your kind knew about Jesus Christ?"

"Jesus Christ?!?" the alien leader exclaims, "how do we not?! He swings by our planet every two years or so. What an awesome guy!"

"EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO? We've still been waiting for his SECOND coming!"

Trying to calm down the pope, the aliens say "Well, maybe he didn't like your chocolate."

The Pope chuckled, while slightly confused. "Forgive me, but what does chocolate have to do with this?"

The aliens responded, "Well when he visits our planet, we give him huge boxes of our finest chocolates... what'd you guys do?"
