What do you mean "More Soon" ?
That's it! The catholics have another old dude to screw over the developing nations to enforce their power base..

They seem to have gone for the safe option. His conservative thinking is in line with JP2 and at 78 is close enough to croaking that reformers/south americans know they will have another chance.
^yeah what he said^Originally Posted by Stoo
they've just got rid of one extremely conservative catholic then they elect another
i don't want to sound mean, but they should of elected somebody young, the new dude is 75 iirc, what if he dies in a few years? rather a fuss..
but hes just doing his job, and im sure he will do good
I was leaving my options open!Originally Posted by Stoo

As much good as the last one? Not that I mean to disrespect the last pope but I got real tired real fast of hearing about how he was an amazing man who changed the world as we knew it, no doubts he was prolly a top bloke but come on did he save the third world nations from starvation? Cure cancer? maybe he went over and helped clear up the chaos after the tsunami?Originally Posted by XA04
No, its honest hard working people in labs and in aid centres around the world that do their best to help stop these problems, not old people in silly hats
The thing i found funny abt the elections is ur vote is guided by the ***holy spirit*** . I mean how the heck can u be guided by ***it*** and in this 21'st century world if they vote like this it is a shame as the pope chosen could be really bad at its job. Sorry, if i am being a bit imature(spell?).

Well if you had any clue about religion at all you might realise their entire faith might just happen to centre around such things.Originally Posted by speedy_s
