Way Back When, SNL had something about the pope on skis. Maybe it was

Current Pope was an active outdoorsman when he was young, including
skiing. I think he wore sweaters, like the rest of the pre-war skiers.

Yeah, but that isn't as funny. I've never liked this pope. In 1978 we
had 3 days in Rome while they were trying to decide who the new one
would be and they wouldn't let people into the Sistine Chapel. His
skiing doesn't make up for us missing the SC -- ****, those guys get to
see it every day if they want to, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for us.
