    To select the pope, the college of cardinals gets locked in with a whole bunch of swords. They must fight to the death, with the winner taking the loser's head. In the end, there can be only one.

    Pope-lander

    They blast Princes of the Universe by Queen the entire time until the winner emerges.

    Here's hoping the next one is at least slightly less homophobic.

    It was a surprise that a man in a silk gown, silk slippers, gold embroidered robes, a fancy hat, and a gold pimp staff that sits on a fancy thrown and has pledged not to sleep with women would be that homophobic.

    You would think the Pope would be a natural ally.

    Honestly kind of unlikely Sweens

    there was a lot of talk when Benny was poped that they could pick a non-european pope for the first time, as Catholicism is stronger/growing in southern hemisphere nations moreso than Europe/North America

    unfortunately religious homophobia is also more prevalent in much of Africa/South America so a pope from either of these continents would almost certainly be worse than the outgoing one on that count.

    I know it's really unlikely

    That doesn't mean I'm going to lose hope that there are some candidates up for it who are at least not completely awful

    Since Obama was elected president, do you think the Catholic church will get with the times and elect a black pope?

    I think I discovered a new Discworld pun

    The word for "pope" in Spanish is the same as the word for potato, just a different article

    I assume it's similar in Italian

    So in The Truth when that guy is part of the religion that thinks everything is okay as long as you have your potato...

    See, part of me actually wants a tough pope. Or at least one who when accused of saying disparaging remarks about other religions, simply responds, "I'm the fucking Pope". Because that always seemed a bit ridiculous when people act like the man needs to be tolerant of all other religions. He is the leader of his religion (set aside the Catholic/Protestant split for a second) as laid out in the early centuries of the church. His main duty above all else is to follow scripture. And right there in the second book it lays out rules, which first among them says 'I am the lord thy god and you shall have no other gods before me'. So if he wants to stand there and tell some other dude you're wrong and your gods are bullshit, he should be allowed without people shitting their pants and screaming "OMG Pope, how y u say that???!!!".

    Of course this leads to problems when I would also like to see a pope who would be willing to throw out Leviticus and Deuteronomy as antiquated drivel from an intolerant age. But I suppose that would get in the way of a tough Pope with a strict interpretation of the Bible as God's Word.

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    I don't even understand what I just read.

    you want a tough pope who will tell other religions they are going to hell because of the rules in the bible, but you want a pope that doesn't take the bible literally and will cut out whole sections of it as legitimate for standards of living.

    that doesn't "lead to problems," it's a complete logical breakdown.

    Yes, sure guy

    Depends on his actions but yeah it could prove to be quite the opposite. Resigning before his death could enable him to take a role in selecting his successor.

    Like I said, I'm conflicted. I just wouldn't mind seeing a pope who after being criticized for being intolerant of other religions, just says 'fuck you'. Although, I'm not sure why you couldn't have a pope that is tolerant of alternate lifestyles, but not necessarily other religions. I mean, even Roman Catholics aren't obligated to keep Mosaic law, just the 10 commandments.

    Also, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'legitimate for standards of living', because a lot of those passages lay down some pretty ridiculous ideas as judged by today's standards.

    And here I was hoping that we'd get someone who was less goosey (and not a nazi-sympathizer).

    Also Langly I was listening to that same show when that guy said that. I laughed.

    It would be great if the next Pope understood that AIDS is spread by a sexually transmitted virus called HIV and that no amount of praying it away will stop it from spreading in Africa. Also that condoms are effective in stopping the spreading of HIV, and to please stop saying ''The AIDS is so small it swims through the condom anyway".

    Last time he was here, they beat him in front of a crowd, nailed him to a cross, and eventually stabbed him in the side with a spear. All that for questioning certain Jewish leaders about how things were being done.

    Now imagine a man who condemned violence in all forms, who made a bold statement about pay unto Caesar what is Caesar's [separation of church and state], thought women should be treated as well as men, who believed in giving to the poor and generally being nice to people [OMG Socialism], and did not make any negative remarks ever about homosexuals, Muslims, or Democrats.

    What do you think the rabble will do to that poor bastard this time around?
