From what I can remember as far back as kid ( which I think its about 6 Popes ago) the Pope in one way or another was always on his death bed.

I can remember only one, I think it was the original Pope John Paul the 1st but he died all of sudden. People still think he was murdered.

Santa is being groomed on this forum. He's been given the red kippah as a trial. However how long this popes going I'd say Santa will be well into retirement and they'll be still wheeling the pope around on life support.

now I'm a catholic(non practicising) as well and probably going to burn in hell - oh well I do like a good barbeque, now just make sure I have some cold beer in the fridge at the ready.

Ah well you can see all of the back stabbing going on in the background with the Cardinals doing a Labor party type of thing then we have to sit and wait for the smoke to come from the chimney......so that rules you out Santa :blink:

The nature of God is one of great humility, HE does not need a spokesman, and who are these that parade themselves before HIM.

No arrogant man shall ever enter into the kingdom of God.

Two Catholic Boys

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were two Catholic boys, Timothy Murphy and Antonio Secola, whose lives parallel each other in amazing ways. In the same year Timothy was born in Ireland, Antonio was born in Italy Faithfully they attended

parochial school from kindergarten through their senior year in high school.

They took their vows to enter the priesthood early in college and, upon graduation, became priests.

Their careers had come to amaze the world, but it was generally acknowledged that Antonio Secola was just a cut above Timothy Murphy in all respects.

Their rise through the ranks of Bishop, Archbishop and finally Cardinal was swift to say the least, and the Catholic world knew that when the present Pope died, it would be one of these two who would become the next Pope.

In time the Pope did die, and the College of Cardinals went to work. In less time than anyone had expected, white smoke rose from the chimney and the world waited to see whom they had chosen.

The world, Catholic, Protestant and secular, was surprised to learn that Timothy Murphy had been elected Pope!!

Antonio Secola was beyond surprise. He was devastated, because even with all of Timothy's gifts, Antonio knew he was the better qualified.

With gall that shocked the Cardinals, Antonio Secola asked for a private session with them in which he candidly asked, "Why Timothy?"

After a long silence, an old Cardinal took pity on the bewildered man and rose to reply. "We knew you were the better of the two, but we just could not bear the thought of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church being

called Pope Secola."

Yeah, I rarely rub it in, but thought I'd better make it clear for some of the members/readers of the forum {who were unfortunate enough to stray into this thread!} ... I no longer have any expectations regarding people's knowledge these days! Better to ocassional state the bleedin'! :blink:
