Rebecca 0 #4 April 19, 2005 I was just wondering the same thing. I swear. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #6 April 19, 2005 Has he been named? It'll be interesting to see this Pope's background. Will he be young or old? Mainly, from where will he come? I personally think that, politically, it may be to the church's benefit to elect a Pope either from Asia or Northern Africa. This is interesting. My wife is hotter than your wife.

kallend 2,027 #12 April 19, 2005 QuoteRatzinger ... wasn't he the guy who played Cliff, the Mailman, on CHEERS? He is the current leader of the Inquisition, which for PR reasons changed its name in 1908 to "Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei". Founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was originally called the Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition: the same people responsible for torturing and burning victims to death in the name of God.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #13 April 19, 2005 He was also a member of Hitler's Youth Party. I find it amusing that they went out of their way to choose an old pope who wouldn't last too long. I guess that's whay they didn't need to think about it for too long. They were looking for the oldest and most frail! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #16 April 19, 2005 I don't think they are expecting him to live long enough to take the church in any direction. He's the "transitional" pope. I just think its weird that they are so upfront about that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #17 April 19, 2005 Quote I don't think they are expecting him to live long enough to take the church in any direction. He's the "transitional" pope. Don't fool yourself. The pope has lots of power. He is in continuity with the previous one, albeit even more conservative. That seems to be a trend.

lawrocket 3 #18 April 19, 2005 QuoteThey were looking for the oldest and most frail! You're probably correct. They need to have some transitional popes after John Paul II - popes who won't last long or make any real impact while Pope John Paul II becomes a legacy... My wife is hotter than your wife.

Guest #21 April 19, 2005 White smoke - does that mean they're done cooking the old one? Reminds me of my favorite (and only) German Murphyism: "Alle kunst is umzunst wenn ein Angel im das Zundloch brunst". "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."
