New Pope Announced

[lame54]

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

1. Lame. He would have a Latin name to match his stature.

[csziggy]

7. He will be known as Pope Raeda Criminalibus

Pope Coach Criminal.

[Whisp]

2. you are going to get introuble for this.

but I rec'd it anyway.

it's the god damned truth.

[rhett o rick]

3. Maybe but not from God. nm

[malaise]

4. I passed on a jury because I had already rec'd it

Truth will out

[L0oniX]

9. The jury system is a joke anyway. Don't believe me? Try alerting on yourself sometime. n/t

[lame54]

21. I appreciate that

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Groan. nt

[MineralMan]

6. While I have no love for the Roman Catholic Church,

this is over the top, in my opinion.

We'll find out who is selected to be the next Pope in good time. When we do, we can analyse that selection, based on facts about the person selected. It may well be someone who will clean house in the RCC of all of those who allowed sexual assaults on children. What will we say then?

This is inappropriate, in my opinion.

10. I dunno, MineralMan, these guys were pretty awful and the Pope was too.

Shielding that guy from the American justice system by inviting him to live a cushy life at the Vatican (which doesn't have an extradition treaty with the U.S.). That just burns me up!

[MineralMan]

11. I'm not making any excuses for what the church and the former

Pope have done. Not in any way. I'm simply suggesting that we wait to see who is the next Pope and where he stands before assuming that they'll be selecting a child molester as Pope.

I'm a major critic of the RCC's actions with regard to priests molesting children and the church hierarchy covering that up and trying to pretend it wasn't a problem. I hope they change their direction. If they do not, I'll be right back criticizing the church.

I still think this OP is out of line, though. Had I been on the jury, I'd have voted to hide it.

[CTyankee]

15. I guess we disagree. I would have voted to leave it alone.

I consider it "rough justice" in a way...

[Whisp]

23. well then you can wait and see.

but don't tell us to react in I believe is a normal and healthy and disgusted way to such an animal that preys on Children, that hides behide a church.

You can wait all you want, but don't tell me to. That is not your jurisdiction.

[lame54]

13. Bullshit...

there will be no house cleaning

[Arugula Latte]

17. Oh please. Over the top? We must protect the delicate sensibilities of the

vile, corrupt child rape-condoning, anti-women, anti-gay, anti-birth control, rotten-to-the-core-for-centuries Vatican?

Don't think so.

Fuck them and the cardinals they rode in on.

[joeybee12]

8. Hee-hee

I laughed, I admit it.

[MineralMan]

12. The next Pope has to be someone who is alive.

Fail on that count, and on other grounds.

[lame54]

14. who died?

[MineralMan]

18. You're right. I was thinking of Paterno.

Never mind. Sandusky will die, though - in prison, not in the Vatican.

[dairydog91]

16. Vote Rick Santorum for Pope Frothius Mixturus!

[lame54]

19. it would be tough to keep his robe white

[libodem]

20. .

[Ken Burch]

22. And here's an OLD Pope...

(actually, he was mainly a poet, but he was NAMED Pope...and he was Catholic...though I have no idea what, if anything, he did in the woods).
