NEWS FLASH! Vatican City: Papal Emissaries to Pope John Paul VI announced today that the Pope will soon be visiting Parkinsaw, MI on a "flight of mercy" to deliver in his Pope-MoPlane the endangered Parkinson's Pigs reportedly in hiding in the northeastern United States. It is widely thought that this confirms rumors which have persisted for months that the Pope has been behind the rescue attempts of these Parkinson's Pigs by flocks of "angelic pigs" first sighted near Cincinnati as they took flight in, what has widely been reported so far, as futile rescue efforts. The Vatican was quick to add, however, that the Pope's unprecedented personal involvement in this desperate scenario are in NO WAY is to be construed of an admission of any type that the Pope may be giving special preference in this aid to the Parkinson's Pigs due to any personal health agendas or advocacy of any particular cause. Although it has been widely rumored that the Pope himself is a "PWP", this has not been confirmed by the Vatican and, when questioned about his surprise and unusual personal role in the Parkinson's Pigs rescue, the Pope only commented, "As Vicar of God on earth, I encourage us all to follow both our spiritual and social responsibilities in securing the rights, safety, and well-being of all God's creations on earth. That, of course, includes Pigs. We must aid all our brethren in need -- regardless of race, color, creed, or, ah, ah, species." There has been no word yet from any spokesperson for the Parkinson's Pigs regarding this latest development in their harrowing and dangerous escape from culinary crisis. Efforts to get confirmation of these reports from John Bjork, of Parkinsaw, MI on preparations for the expected arrival of the Pope and the Pigs are still ongoing and his comments are eagerly awaited by pig lovers and Parkinsonians throughout the world. Spontaneous prayer vigils for the success of this Pig passage by the Papacy have reportedly sprung up in cities around the globe.
