[trythefly]

John Paul saying "piece out biatches"

[civic95]

Great now maybe by next week they will have something else to talk about. Or are they going to spend a week enaugurating this one?

[trythefly]

no its going to be 2 weeks

[Kristi]

damn, this new guy is 78 years old .... that is a little old in my opinion. hell, john paul only lived to be 85!

[auxiliary]

I could really care less about the pope. I mean sure it's history in the making in what not....I just wanted to be the first person to post it, lol

[Kristi]

lol

[HEATON]

Yea Kristi thats what i was thinking, but this guy was like John Paul's right hand man so maybe they knew he wasnt gonn be there for long and jus give him a shot at it. But how can people say they dont care or who gives a fuck? Hoenstly if you didnt you wouldnt said anything at all, putting down the Pope is like putting down Martin Luther king as a black civil leader. From what i heard women might be gettin less of a role in the Catholic church with this guy.

[Tuan]

they wanted to vote for a older person cuz they thought teh john paul ruled for too long and he was too pwerful..they want someone older who won;t be pope for very long like traditional popes...john paul was consider too young

[HEATON]

Yea that is what i was saying, now on CNN Euro they are saying its mainly for a transition period.

[Kristi]

i agree - he is scary looking.

i'm not worried about the woman's position in the church - i'm not catholic, but i hope it isn't true for those catholics out there

Unfortantly 80% of Germany did at that time. It was like being in the boy scouts. Good thing is this country is very ashamed of Adolf and you will most certainly receive the shittiest of dirty looks if mention his name or affiliation.

[00CIVICSI]

he was also imprisoned(SP?) by the usa too during the war!
