Many years ago, the Pope decided that all the Mormons had to leave Rome. Naturally, there was a big uproar from the Mormon community. So, the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Mormon community. If the Mormons won, the Mormons could stay. If the Pope won, the Mormons would leave. Realizing they had no choice, the mormons picked a young missionary from Idaho named Heber to represent them. Not able to speak italian very well, Heber asked for one addition to the debate. To make it more interesting, neither side could speak. The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came. Heber and the Pope sat opposite from eachother for a whole minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Heber looked back and him and showed one finger. The Pope then waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Heber pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope then pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Heber pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I give up! This man is too good. The Mormons can stay." Afterwards, the Cardinals gathered around the Pope and asked him to explain what had happened. The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my fingers around me to show that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing me that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the origional sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?" Meanwhile the Mormon community and all the missionaries had crowded around Heber. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Heber, "first he said to to me that the Mormons had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leaving. He told me that the whole city would be cleared of mormons. I let him know that we were staying right here." "And then?" asked a woman. "I don't know." said Heber. "He took out his lunch and I took out mine."
