Well, he's not dead yet, but he will be really soon. The news channels seem concentrated on one window in the Vatican and likely will be until a light turns on or... something.

Well, he's not dead yet, but he will be really soon. The news channels seem concentrated on one window in the Vatican and likely will be until a light turns on or... something.
There have been conflicting reports of whether he is or isn't...I don't know what to believe anymore.
I'm sure there will be people complaining about aaalllll the coverage, to which I say - watch something else, see a movie, play video games, etc.
Isn't it smoke out the chimney or something?Quote:

I believe they ring the bell for when the he dies, and white smoke when they have selected a new one.Quote:

with Mitch Hedburg and Bass wolf following closely behind carrying large phallic emblems.
Can't forget Frank Perdue.
Wasn't the Pope's main goal in his papacy to end the split in the church?
Hiiiiiiiiiigh hopes. He had hiiiiiigh hopes.
So Frank Perdue, Mitch Hedberg, and the Pope walk up to the gates of Heaven. Then St. Peter says to them, he says...
DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING!Quote:

Trying to top last years record....that's all.
Okay, someone answer me this, because I'm completely unfamiliar with random catholic stuff- how do they choose a new pope?
archbishops play a game of monoply to decide who will lead the church as the new pope.
Catholics are evil anyway, so the pope is quite likely some undead minion of satan.
They decide by Rowshamboe.
Anyways, poor guy. Slowly dying but he had a long life and has done so many great things.
He has done nothing. He's like Princess Diana without the charity work.Quote:

I want to see the pope wake up tonight in the hospital and say "APRIL FOOLS BITCHES!!!!"
He basically ended Communism (RUSSIANS:chick: ).. he did tons of shit in his day.
Didn't he also have something to do with the fall of the Berlin wall?Quote:

and for sats, a council of cardinals called the holy see decides the next pope, so far there are 3 frontrunners, one is african, one is south american, and the other one i know very little about, but all were very similar to his brand of though, so the papacy wont change much.
heres some info on the holy see.here
vatican 2 was a differnet pope. john 23, this one is john paul 2. but good call on the solidarity one, im a chicken and used the english term:PQuote:

he's nothing more than a figurehead of a terrible, archaic institution. If he was actually useful they would make the popes retire instead of naming a new one after the pope finally dies.
THat's like saying "After bush is done, we shouldn't elect another president". Except this guy is actually awesome.
I had no idea that he did anything, all I was aware of was his homophobia. good to see, I guess.
You always pop into these threads and spout shit when you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying that the pope isn't useful because of a system which he didn't even derive, and you've completely downsized his achievements. Now do like the rest of us with no knowledge on the topic and shut your mouth.Quote:

I'm gonna check CNN to see if I can get a list of his 'good things'. It's a pretty damn good list. The guy was a great guy.
Everyone does good and bad, but he does have his opinions too.

The rest of you can shut the fuck up now. Frost just owned all you all.
He encouraged people not to use condoms, and said they do absolutely nothing to protect against STDs.
Wonderful message, popey!
Edit: Yes, he did some very good things. That doesn't mean we should just plug our ears and go "LALALALA" at all the amazingly stupid, backwards shit he's done. He's one of the most powerful men in the world, and a statement like that is amazing irresponsible.

That's a pretty C list 'bad' thing. Considering the church doesn't approve of sex before marriage. So why WOULD he condone something that promotes it?
Ain't nothen like the real thing baby!Quote:

One thing ended communism in Russia. It was called the intentional keeping up with the Joneses game that the US made them play. The US could afford it, and the USSR could not. The Pope had dick to do with it. He may have had an effect on Russian culture, but that sure as fuck did not lead to an economic collapse. The misinformation on this board never ceases to amaze me.
I wouldn't be surprised if ending communism is a negative in your book, but at least hand it to the right organization.Quote:

Maybe he can grab Terry whatsherface on the way up.
So, what happens now, besides breaking his ring, calling out his name 3 times, and having a doctor listen to his heart for a full minute?

Have you seen him lately? He's all puffy in the head like Jerry Lewis.
The pope sucks.... I'll post more evidense later.
Well, I was going to post, "Good riddance," but Zerohero beat me to the stupid comment.
Pope goes the weasel!
Ewwww!
Is Jerry Lewis still alive?Quote:

Go find someone who actually deserves ridicule, and don't bitch about the publicity hes getting, because that only adds to it.
Actually, yeah he still is. He doesn't look like Jerry Lewis anymore though.Quote:

Please take your own advise then. you claim to be no expert on the Pope, yet you are defending him, which is the opposite of shutting your mouth. Someone who doesn't know much about the Pope yet defends him is somehow better than someone who is critical of him? Is he above criticism because he has tricked millions of people into thinking he is doing God's work? A guy like Cardinal Law turned his back on child molestation done by catholic preists for decades, and when Law stepped down, he got a cushy job in the vatican. Am i supposed to support the Pope when things like this happen under his nose and he does nothing about it?Quote:

You don't know that he tricked anyone.
There's a dancing Terry Shiavo fat kid .gif around as well.
I'm pretty sure that if there is a God, no mortal knows what God would actually want. Its an assumption, but its one I'm comfortable making.Quote:
