Is this joke irreverent?!

The pope and his lawyer were driving in Rome, and a truck blows a red-light, and the pope and his lawyer both die!.

They appear before St!. Peter at the pearly gates, and he says "Welcome to heaven!."

At just that moment throngs of the heavenly host appear from within the gates!. Closer and closer they come!. You can see the joy in their faces as they draw near to the pope and his lawyer!.

The pope holds his head up and straightens his collar expecting a hero's welcome and jubilant cheers like he enjoyed on earth!.

The throng now reaches the gate and wisk the pope's lawyer up and carry him on their shoulders into the celestial city!.

Soon they dissapear into the distance leaving the pope standing alone at the gate!.

The pope says to Peter "I am the pope, you know"!.

Peter responds "Yes, I know, you may enter!."

The pope continues "Did they know that was only my lawyer!?"

Peter replies: "Listen, popes we have plenty !. !. !. he was the first lawyer that's made it!."Www@Enter-QA@Com
