laurie Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Just for fun what country do you think the next Pope will come from!! yeh I know WGAS but I did say just for fun cheers laurie
ToeCutter Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I initially bet on the black pope to represent the African nations but now I'm thinking Ratzinberger. Could he be a Jewish pope?
Scorchie™ Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My fear is that the traditionalists will go back to an Italian. it would be nice however for them to choose an African Pope, to bond the church in much the same way as Desmond Tutu did.
laurie Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 LOL someone on the news mentioned Cardinal Pell as being in the race......me's think not!! though I was surprised on how many lanuages he spoke cheers laurie
Digicruiser Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Deutschland! Although they do want to go back to their countries pope origin.
Santa1503559644 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Its interesting to note how the media/pundits were so far off the mark at the beginning of this period. (Before finally waking up and smelling the incense!) In future they may just have to ask Santa!
laurie Posted April 20, 2005 Author Posted April 20, 2005 The new Pope is 78 yrs old!! God it will not be long before they have to do it again just think a Labor or Liberal leader @ 78 puting him/her self up for election. cheers laurie

God it will not be long before they have to do it again just think a Labor or Liberal leader @ 78 puting him/her self up for election.cheers laurie <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There could be a pattern developing here... didn't the Pope before JPII only last for a brief period?
Groover ! Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 The new Pope is 78 yrs old!!

laurie Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 The church doesnt like talking JP the first as he lasted 6 weeks and was rumored to be too radical and was poisoned ! Ah......The Poison Chalice cheers laurie
Foggy Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Ah......The Poison Chalice <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My old teacher Brother Salvius would be rolling around laughing in his grave.
laurie Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 The Pope was reported to-day of having a stroke a few yrs ago!! maybe that what got him elected when they read his resume... cheers laurie
mtv Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Personally, I thought this guy was the ideal candidate. http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?act=Att...ype=post&id=141
laurie Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Yeh either Mr Bean or Basil Fawlty cheers laurie
mtv Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I figured the hand movements and mumbling of Pope Bean would be consistent. It's a visual thing, imagining him holding teddy up at the window to see the crowd. Although, Basil could certainly liven things up in the Vatican too. Cheers Col
laurie Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Although, Basil could certainly liven things up in the Vatican too. Especially if his mate Manuel is the altar boy Ch`e [slap across the face] he's Spanish cheers laurie
