I hear the smoke signal they send up to signify they've chosen a new pope is actually them burning any evidence of past 'unsavoury' behaviour

It will be ironic if a black Pope is elected that he will be surrounded by men in white robes with pointy hats swinging crosses in front of him.

Kieran McConville · 02-27-2013, 08:06 PM

In what way is that ironic?

Irvine511 · 02-27-2013, 11:04 PM

It's a KKK reference, for the non-Americans out there.

Hopefully they cut the eye slits big enough to see out of.

I realise that.

What is troubling is the child abuse allegations. Not the fact the Pope resigned.

The only reason he did resign is because of the abuse allegations...not because of any other reason. That's pretty sad, that the Catholic church was hiding pedophiles and protecting them.

Irvine511 · 03-05-2013, 06:49 AM

We've known for over a decade that the Catholic Church facilitates child rape for thousands of years.

Jive Turkey · 03-05-2013, 12:29 PM

What?!?!?!

LemonMelon · 03-05-2013, 12:35 PM

So a Catholic priest walks into a kindergarten...

OH SNAP TOO SOON?!

Pearl · 03-11-2013, 09:17 PM

So, who's ready for tomorrow?

I'm not sure if I'm going to care. Of course, if a more progressive cardinal is elected that will be nice. But by progressive, that would mean he would only consider women becoming priests or lightening up on contraceptives. Key word: only.

If Cardinal Turkson from Ghana is elected, I will lose all faith in the Catholic Church as an institution. He defended Uganda's "kill the gays" bill, so that is someone I could never support and I'll be very disappointed if he's elected. Other than that, I won't care too much.

Kieran McConville · 03-12-2013, 12:26 AM

For what it's worth, the little I've read suggests Turkson has thoroughly dealt himself out of contention.

BEAL · 03-12-2013, 07:46 AM

Wouldn't surprise to go with a Hispanic pope.

Everybody fill their bracket for the Sweet Sistine?

hahaha

deep · 03-12-2013, 02:42 PM

I sincerely believe that heavenly influence will assist in this selection.

(as much as does in anything, ever)

BEAL · 03-12-2013, 03:07 PM

Yep, a bunch of guys getting together in a room, to hold a democratic voting process on whom God is going to choose to be the next Pope.

Makes Sense

deep · 03-12-2013, 03:18 PM

all the voters are sworn to secrecy

the ballot counters announce the vote and then immediately burn the ballots
of course the holy spirit can guide these 3? ballot counters, or only 2? of them
