Pope Benedict XVI to resign due to ‘deteriorating’ health

[L Gilbert]

The Bishop dude on the radio said Benny was the last to be above the limit so I guess Popes are now included in that.

Interesting. Have to turn the radio to CBC Rad 1 I guess.

I was out for breakfast today and saw this news on a TV in the restaurant. I ordered the eggs benedict as a result. It was delicious.

Sounds good! Does Ham Benedict come with that?

 

[L Gilbert]

Damn. Getting close to lunch here. Wonder if I can suck up to the cook for some Benny's Cackleberries.

No ham thawed and no scones. Bummer. Maybe tomorrow.

Didn't. But it's where I get radio news from. The other ones here suck for news.

Oh come on admit it, it more than just news. You make sure to tune into the Debaters every Wed morn like clockwork.

Yep, some of their broadcasting can get pretty stupid. Minority groups seem to get the lions share of the broadcast time.

Sort of the same were they not the other Gregory was an idiot too, he sold shares into heaven
to build the St Peters, and he had all kinds of weird ideas. This Pope has a dubious past as
well covering up abuses and some say he spent a little time in the Hitler Youth as well.
I hope they get a Pope that is not so caught up in dogma and actually gets to correcting the ills
of the church if they did that I might even give them a passing thought. This Pope is one of
the most right wing they have had.

The Debaters is a minority group? I thought it was a comedy program. Who knew?

Oh yeah, they are.............was thinking of quite a lot of other stuff.

The College of Cardinals may elect a non European pope. European church attendance is bouncing on empty.

Cool.

Does this mean he can be interrogated and if need be, charged with accessory to an indictable offence?

Wasn't Christ resurrected on the third day?

Doubt it. Thats what his PR people say though.

Cool.

I doubt it but I hope so.

Need a Pope that will re-state the churchs Family values and hold those values that Catholics and believers hold dear.To Heart..With out question or need for explanation...God rules ...J.C. represents God and those values...Let none tear it apart into pieces..Don't like it ...Don't have to...No one is forcing anyone to do, or be, anything they don't want to be; apart of...

Peace or Pieces?...

1 Peace..

Every half hour since 5 A.M. I've heard on the news about the shock and disbelief that the Pope is retiring. Enough already - the guy is two months shy of 86 and in poor health! W.T.F.?

The shock and disbelief is because Popes do NOT resign. Pope John Paul, Pope Benedict's predecessor, stated that a Pope should NOT resign for any reason. He likened it to getting back down off the cross. The last time a Pope resigned was in 1415. THAT is why there is so much shock.

I was thinking people were shocked by their radios short circuiting.

Oh, who f'n cares! They should retire the position for eternity. It really is just some old dude in a dress and weird hat who claims he is the voice of god. Most people would get locked up for that sh*t.

While they're at it they should retire every position above the local parish priest because they are all corrupt and, well, pretty much insane in what they believe and practice. Unfortunately they have about a billion followers who are just as insane to believe the sh*t they're shoveling.
