My Pick for the New Pope ---

[Capstone]

What do you like about him?

Not to speak for Warrior102, but that pick would be seen as an obvious fulfillment of prophecy by many fundies.

Which is one of the reasons he'll never be pope. [...]

Truth be told: it doesn't matter who winds up in the funny hat in Rome; the anti-Catholic fundies will find or manufacture a way to tie him into their end times delusions.

Coming down to the wire this week


I still say the Cardinals say screw you to reformists and pick a conservative Italian

My pick for new pope is Elton John. He's gay and he wears flamboyant clothes really well. The 2 most important qualifications for the job.

 

[Moonglow]

The whole Papacy and the men that run the Sees are human and corrupt.

This guy rocks ---

Cardinal Peter Turkson.

So, you pick the one in denial about AIDS, priest sex scandals, and homosexuality in Africa....how shocking.

 

[AmyNation]

My bet is on Cardinal Tettamanzi.

I think they will stay away from the more controversial possibilities and go with a strong leader who is well known and well liked.

We're about to find out if my bet for Pope was as off as my bet on POTUS

 

[TNHarley]

At least Peter is not from Rome. I might build a bunker then...

 

[AmyNation]

I was wrong.

 

[rightwinger]

And the new pope is: Argentina's Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

Pope Francisco

Pope Francisco

The first pope who's done cocaine.

I predict another Italian pope

He is Italian. He was just born in Argentina.

Whatever sex abuse that occurred in the church pales in comparison to what the abuse of children is in public schools.

He is Italian

I am waiting for his long form birth certificate

 

[Avatar4321]

I am waiting for his long form birth certificate

why?

 

[rightwinger]

I am waiting for his long form birth certificate

why?

It is an obvious conspiracy

He is an Italian trying to pass himself off as Argentinian. It's been done before. I got to see the long form......and maybe his college transcripts

I have lived in America all my life and have an Italian name.
Am I an "Italian?" you fucking moron....

Just a note of general interest, but in another thread, a distinguished fundy recently wrote:

NOW SECOND GLANCE==POPE FRASCIS in naming himself after Assisi, Bergoglio branded himself after an Italian (Roman) priest whose original name was Francesco di Pietro (Peter) di Bernardone -- literally, Peter the Roman. BEWARE!!!Modify Message

Did I call it, or what?
