That actually happened. Just not to Michelangelo, but Paolo Veronese. He got called up before the Inquisition, but it turned out that all he needed to do was change the subject matter from the Last Supper to the incident where Jesus dined with the tax collectors and sinners.
Clearly the Pope had a different perspective.
Disappointing theists since 1968!
