I noticed that while Italy is the favored nationality, naturally, the favored individual is a Canuck! Would be hugh.

I'd like to see them go with a non-catholic Pope for a change.

 

[roguejuror]

They should bring back John Paul II, that was the crowds favorite.

 

[Mudcat]

Maybe one of the surviving Beatles?

 

[roguejuror]

lol the favorite is a frenchie, Pucky is gonna love that

OK guys, child abuse is still killing us, weve got the condom/Aids thing, the Vatican Bank makes Lehmans look like the S&L from Its A Wonderful Life, and the kids dont want to know. Who do we go with?. I know, what about that old, frail-looking German guy who had the stroke and was press-ganged into the Hitler Youth?. Perfect. Get the white smoke going.

that whole article is funny greg

Does the pope become a Vatican citizen and loses his original nationality?

 

[roguejuror]

I think he gets a heaven's passport, not sure

 

[Mudcat]

It would be interesting if he converted to Judaism.

Hopefully not the Canadian guy. I would prefer that religion just go away as much as possible in my country.

 

[roguejuror]

I vote for the Honduran. We need a salvatrucha pope.

 

[Mudcat]

Glancing at some of the blurbs I see that the Philippino candidate Tagle has charisma that, "is said to be comparable to that of the late Pope John Paul II."




Which gives me a good opportunity to use this smiley for the first time:

No internet, phone or TV. Poor babies.

 

[FairWarning]

I would vote for Obama, we need change. We need a leader, it's a rudderless ship for us Catholics today. Heck, I may eat beef today.

 

[roguejuror]

Any day now. Today black smoke.
