Breaking News - The Pope Has Resigned.

[Ann]

No reason given ....... no Pope has ever resigned since 13th century.

[Zeuhl]

Physical strength isn't usually an issue; don't they just carry them round in a big chair?

Alzheimer's or similar would be a different matter; perhaps the Papal utterances have been getting even more bonkers than usual?

[evedawn]

I know lots of people don't share my views jack. If i wear a tin foil hat csn it st least be dior or givenchy lol? I just think there is something to it!! Don't necessarily believe in lizard people etc but do believe a core group controls all thd important decisions worldwide.

[sp1814]

The thing that seems odd here is that I thought the Pope wasn't allowed to resign??

[Ric.ror]

Funny how we have gone from the leader of the church on earth to discussing green lizards - all part of live rich tapestry I suppose

[evedawn]

Yeah ric lol!

[shoota]

Apparently Bono is 1000-1 to become the next pope lol!

[FredPuli43]

Me neither, sp, but it might be a bit difficult to get an injunction for specific performance of the job ! And he might say that God had directed him to resign. Who could argue with that?

[gness]

I'm out of tin foil but I do have a colander and I would like Stephen Fry to be Pope if we have to have one at all.

[tonyav]

Any odds on Sir Bob yet shoota.

[Baldric]

Paddy Power have Bono @ 1000/1
Nothing on Sir Bob..........yet!

[shoota]

Dunno Tone, just a snippet from JD's link.

I thought we had exorcised that particular lust last night G (misguided of the midlands.)

[Zeuhl]

The College of Cardinals is being replaced this time with something produced by Simon Cowell

I think the working title is 'The X Factor'

[jackthehat]

Surely, it'd be 'The Pope Idol' ?

[Ric.ror]

Well if its either Bono or S Fry and the question is 'Is the pope catholic' we would have to say No

[Zeuhl]

'The Pope Idol' lol

If it was 'Pope Idolatry' I'm backing Ian Paisley for title sequence voice-over

[gness]

'Tis a lust too strong to be exorcised Shoota.......though I'm having second thoughts about lusting after a pope....

Of course a Gnome has never been elected pope....yet.

[DTCwordfan]

Should the Collegiate of Cardinals go for a woman as Pope?

Abbottess Gness perhaps, or what about Voddie, she's part Italian.?

[gness]

Abbottess Gness? Was only joking about a Gnome for Pope, but if it's a woman then it has to be MrsO.....she multiplies fishes and I bet she bakes a cracking loaf.

[tonyav]

No gness, Mother Superior would be more suitable in your case I'm thinking lol.
