I thinkits more like 81, no wonder I'm not catholic...

Considering that when you are pope you are pop till ya die they wont want a young guy in office ever. Imagine if the american presidency was the same way. Could you imagine 80 years or so of Bush? Nah they want someone that will keel over after a couple decades so they can put someone new in.

John Paul was in the hot seat for 30 odd years, wasn't he..?? just trying to remember what I heard on the news.. They obvisouly don't want too much mileage out of them now?
Makes you wonder what they get up to in that room they're locked in. That smoke has to be lit by something...

I vote myself for next pope.

I will chose my popename as "Aloucises the IIVCth"

And I will make all catholics roll one trouser leg up at all times. And know the entire rap of "Still D.R.E" Oh, and wear bandanas.

Now, who's going to vote for me? I promise to take the chuirtch to new and exciting places!

Isn't there a more 'dignifying' name than 'Aloucises'?

Excellent. I call our select group the Kollege of Slobbers.

And instead of being the pope i want to be called the mope. just because it sounds more fun

Id like to hear more about the aids sufferers who contracted the disease because using condoms is a sin.

Cynical? You bet!

so close yet so far mate. i rather thought it was promiscuity that spread aids, not the lack of condoms. But then, I'm a christian, so what would i know?

what interests me about the pope being elected from germany is that they've recognised that catholicism in the west is really taking a downward turn and that they need to address that more than they need to promote yet more growth in latin america.

i beleive he's 78 but i guess it'll come down to how well he can look after himself in the next few years as to whether he's 'temporary' or a real mover and shaker... or mover and 'fix it down right where it is nower' as some are suggesting!

[Ixion]

with you mate..
even rock music is a sin. I heard a bit on the news realing off a whole heap of 'sins', most of which I thought was really strong to be coming out with. They must have really been bored. We're all off to hell tho, unless you've been living in the cupboard for your whole life. Least it'll be warm in hell.

Plenty of pizza too. Where's your pitchfork Mr Loosebruce

[Fluffy Cat]

Er,whats a pope?

Apparently he is a very traditional type of Catholic leader.
For example the news this morning said that he wants to have more contact with youth.......

Regarding the aids. Nothing to do with religion. Its unsafe sexual activities that can lead to positive HIV status. Once the HIV brews for a while you become AIDs positive. Condom use can reduce the risk, but apparently not remove the risk. Then there is the other ways of contracting HIV, but we will not get into that...
JOKE (not catholic safe):
Q. How do you make a nun pregnant?
