Not quite. Pope John XXIII had a wonderful sense of humor. Read his autobiography. He’ll have you in stitches. It’s about personality, not time.

When he was nuncio, Cardinal Roncalli attended a state dinner and was seated next to the First Lady of France who was showing too much cleavage.

At the end of the meal, the brought fruit. The Cardinal picked up an apple and offered it to the First Lady, which she politely declined. The Cardinal again offered it to her and she again declined.

Once more, the Cardinal offered the apple and the First Lady asked him, “Your eminence, why do you insist the I accept the apple?”

To which the Cardinal replied, “Because it was not until she ate the apple that Eve realized that she was naked.”

This he tells in his autobiography.

It has been a while since I read, Journal of a Soul: Pope John XXIII . It was then that I realized what a saintly soul he was.
 
Another one, from @Pontifex (Jan 13):
The Lord is knocking at the door of our hearts. Have we put a sign on the door saying: “Do not disturb”?

Let’s remember also what Pope Emeritus said:
I’m not a man who constantly thinks up jokes. But I think it’s very important to be able to see the funny side of life and its joyful dimension and not to take everything too tragically. I’d also say it’s necessary for my ministry. A writer once said that angels can fly because they don’t take themselves too seriously. Maybe we could also fly a bit if we didn’t think we were so important.

“It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.”

Apparently John XXIII had also a very self-effacing sense of humour.

When he was a Cardinal on the way to the conclave that would elect him, Cardinal Roncalli overheard one woman comment on his waistline. Laughing with her, he said, “Madam, this is a conclave, not a beauty contest!”

When he was elected, he said, “God knew all my life I would become Pope. You would think He would have at least made me a little photogenic.”
 
I thoroughly enjoy our new Pope. I’m glad The Lord blessed him with a good sense of humor:thumbsup:
