"Kim, Ron and the Pope"

Chapter 1

"A Holy Admirer"

Ever since Ron and I had become boyfriend and girlfriend on the fateful night of our junior prom, it seemed like my life was going to be going through a series of changes. I wasn't going to be single anymore, Ron and I were going to be together for better or for worse. However, in days since we declared our love for one another, I couldn't help but question the fact that I was going to be someone who was not only someone who I had known for most of my life, but also someone of different faith.

I was Catholic, he was Jewish.

What was the difference in that? Maybe I was just overreacting to the situation at large. But, there was going to be a time where I would get advice from someone who was other than my family or my circle of friends.

…

It all started about a week after the prom. The diablo incident was still being talked about and I was still trying to get over the fact that Eric was a synthrodrome merely around for the purpose of weakening me. It was Sunday, a day that my family and I would head to church for our weekly visit with God.

"Kim," my dad remarked as we all drove towards the church. "You've been awfully quiet for the past few days and your mother and I have been worried about you."

"Oh, um, sorry guys," I stammered, scratching the back of my neck. "I've just had a lot on my mind since Ron and I became a couple."

"Well, it is going to take some time," said my mother, putting lipstick on her lips. "Come to think of it, its going to take time for all of us."

"That's just it," I said, fidgeting with the red pendant around my neck. "Don't you realize that Ron and I becoming a couple is going to take time? In fact, part of me can't help but worry about the future. There are certain aspects to the both of us that we have to consider."

"Well, there is a reason why you and Father James have post Sunday mass meetings, Kimmie cub," said James. "Perhaps you could your feelings with him and he can help you."

It was true at the fact that meeting with a priest every Sunday was somewhat refreshing. Father James had been there for me and my family during our time of upheaval and this was certainly no exception to the rule.

…

Going into church, we went through the ritual of going through mass and soon, the time had come for me and Father James to have our weekly meeting.

"Father James," I said, walking into his office in the church basement. "Nice mass as always."

"Thank you, Kim," he replied, offering me to sit down on his sofa. "Please, have a seat. You know I always look forward to our post mass get togethers."

"That I can understand," I sighed, adjusting the hem of the sleeveless navy blue dress I was wearing and scratching my stocking clad left leg. "So much has been happening to me with the diablo incident and all."

"I've read the papers and hopefully now, your archenemy can spend the rest of his life behind bars for what he did. How have you been holding up?"

"Been trying to hold up, but there is something important I have to tell you, Father."

"What is it, Kimberly?"

"You know, Ron, my friend since childhood? Well, he and I…are a couple now."

"Well, congratulations!" he said, with a huge smile on his face while rising out of his chair. "That is delightful news, Kimberly! He certainly seems like a really nice person for you."

"Yes, Ron is someone who has certainly been there for me, Father. But, I can't help wonder and this may seem a little against the faith, but is it all right for people of different faiths to have a relationship?"

For a moment, it seemed like that there was going to be an awkward silence between shepherd and sheep. However, that was not to be.

"Kimberly, of course you can have a relationship with someone outside the faith," he advised, drinking a cup of coffee. "What other religion is he?"

"He's Jewish."

"Well, I can't say that is a bad thing, Kimberly. Catholics and Jews have certainly come a long way from the time of Jesus. Do his parents have any problem with you have a relationship with him?"

"I can't say that they had anything against me. They know me and understand that Ron and I might have a future together. The last boyfriend I had was Catholic, but we parted ways. He and I are still platonic."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

"That maybe God doesn't want me to be with someone outside of the Catholic faith."

As I spoke, I couldn't help but notice Father James writing down what appeared to be on a piece of paper.

"Is that true?" he asked. "Because I am sure that God has no qualms about marrying outside of the faith. In fact, perhaps maybe you should consider the possibility of asking someone higher than me."

"The bishop?"

"No, Kimberly," he said. "I make about four trips to the Vatican every year to visit with his holiness, the Pope. Perhaps maybe you could with me to Rome and see for yourself what God really thinks about you having a relationship outside of the faith."

All I could do was just sit there with my eyes wide open. Was this really happening? Was I being offered a chance to come have an audience with the Pope himself? I didn't know what to say and I didn't know what to do.

"Father James, I…I don't know what to say," I stammered. "You want me…to…?"

"As a matter of fact," interrupted Father James, reaching into his desk and pulling out another piece of paper. "My fellow priest in Rome has mentioned to me that his holiness has expressed deep interest in meeting you personally, Kimberly as well as Ron."

It was very hard to believe that my fame and fortune of saving the world had gone so far as to reach the Pope himself.

"I'll let you think about it and then we can discuss it more when we meet again next Sunday, what do you say?"

Without saying another word, I shook hands with Father James and walked out of the office being totally shocked and surprised. The Pope, the leader of the entire Catholic faith, wanted to meet me, Kim Possible and my sidekick/boyfriend, Ron Stoppable in person!

…

Nevertheless, I needed to tell Ron about this, but I wasn't sure how he, a Jewish young man, was going to react to all of this…
