I turned the TV on this morning and they said they'd chosen a new Pope now. I had to go out though so I missed anything else.

You didn't miss much. For an hour news anchors debated the color of the smoke. Dumbasses.

Can't they ever choose a young Pope?

It's tradition that after a long standing Pope dies, they elect an old one for a short traditional Papacy. After this guy croaks, they'll elect a young Pope. And from what I've heard around me, there are some people that are rather unhappy with his election because of how orthodox he is

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany (he's turned 78 on Saturday-heh, nice late birthday gift) was elected Pope and took the name Benedict XVI.

I was watching a history of the Papacy on the History Channel last night. They said there was once a twenty year-old Pope and a Pope who turned the Vatican into a brothel.

At least one good thing came out of religion.

:lol:

And on a completely unrelated note, why has there been no Pope Matthew, no King Matthew of England, no President Matthew? Dammit, we Matthews are tired of being left out! :mad: ( :p )

I won't be satisfied until there's a Pope Sarah a President Sarah. Guess I can't hope for a King Sarah, but there's a Princess, so that will have to do :p

It's gonna be interesting. This is after all the same guy who said theologians shouldn't publish opinions that contradicted church teaching, condemned homosexuality, and condemned liberation theology.

Pope Benedict XVI used to be a Nazi during WWII.

A majority of German's elderly male population were Nazis as well. Just because they were Nazis doesn't mean they held true to those convictions.

I didn't say they did or that they do now. I was just pointing out a fact. ;)

Well, you have to remember that the Hitler Youth became compulsive after a while.

Boy Scouts of America are so much better. We don't kill nearly as many people.

Those Boy Scouts are deadly with their wooden knives. I've seen one gut a man in 2 seconds with one.

He's was probably doing steriods then. Drug abuse runs more rampant in the boy scouts then it does in major league baseball. ;)
