"Is The Pope Catholic?"

This is one of my favorite lines to emphasize the obviousness of something. Well, John Paul II may have been Catholic, but he may have been Jewish too:

A MANCHESTER historian has claimed that Pope John Paul II was Jewish.Yaakov Wise says his study into the the maternal ancestry of Karol Josez Wojtyla (John Paul II's real name) has revealed startling conclusions.

Mr Wise, a researcher in orthodox Jewish history and philosophy, said the late Pope's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all probably Jewish and came from a small town not far from Krakow.
