old rooster Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Well I lost my stake on this, I was sure you RC guys would be getting a black pope this time. :thumbs: Never was any good at betting Not much in favour of the Vatican ethos, the richest religion in the world followed by some of the poorest people in the same world. Not much done to help them by the church. Sorry, no more religious comments. Tin hat now VERY firmly on, making for the door..................................SLAM, gone.

Fisherman Mike Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Apparenty Jackson is in Big Trouble He said last year " I swear on the Popes life I didnt touch those Kids " :thumbs: Good Luck to Eggs Benedict the 16th... hes got a lot on his plate.. Look out Gays and Lesbians, this guy is a bit radical in his views... you are intrinsically perverted and even if you cant have sex with each other you must not masturbate either. However if you want to go out and commit a load of crimes as long as you confess on Sunday and put £ 50 quid in the coffers then thats all right. Not being a RC I dont care.. but would like to have seen a younger man and not just the same guy who has been behind JP for the last 5 years... Punch and Judy come to mind or Harry Corbet & Sooty.... Oops sorry I meant carbon particluates given off during organic cumbustiony Can this guy actually acheive anything worthwhile at his age William Hill are already opening a book on his successor. FM.

Axe Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Agreed! I simply cant see any sense in voting in a chap thats gonna need replacing sooner than later. Not that i'll have anything to do with it nor am I a fortune teller, but 78....sheesh! But then he was aiding the JP for some many years, maybe thats why?!

poppythedog Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Someone made a valid comment on R2 the day of the funeral that approx 35 children will starve to death in Africa in the time it takes to bury the Pope, and this is the church that tells 3rd world, ill educated people that contraception is a sin!!! :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Am i right in thinking that they are doing away with the traditional method of choosing the next Pontif (at 78 it wont be long) They are going to put it on the TV, bring in Simon Cowell and call it "POPE IDOL" Sutty :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old rooster Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Well I can't believe it !!! What an irreverant bunch you are. Have you no thoughts for the devout catholics that view this forum ?. It must be a very difficult time for them having a new leader and spending so much time sitting about watching smoke come out of a chimney.

arjimlad Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 It is being said that it was compulsory to join the Hitler Youth in Germany at that time, and he did escape from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
