A rabbi and a priest were sitting together on a train, and the rabbi leaned over and asked, "So how high can you go in your organisation?"
The priest said, "If I am lucky, I guess I could become a bishop."

"I suppose that if my works are seen in a very good light that I might be made an archbishop," said the priest, a bit cautiously.
"Is there any way that you might go higher than that?"

"Could you be anything higher than a cardinal?" probed the rabbi.
Hesitating just a little bit, the priest said, "I suppose that I could be elected Pope, but the odds there..."
The rabbi interjected, "And could you be anything higher than that? What is there higher than the Pope?"
"What? I should be the Messiah himself?"
The rabbi leaned back, smiled, and said, "Well you know, one of our boys made it..."
