I was discussing this with friends and the general consensus was that Benny
was selected because (1) He will follow essentially the same policies as
JP2, and (2) He is old and will not be pope for that long. In other words, a
relatively brief period with a caretaker pope before electing someone who
might want to put his own mark on church policy.

How silly of me. I thought the reason we were hearing about pedophile priests is
because there were pedophile priests. The newspapers are just publishing the
studies and reporting on the court cases. We have been hearing rumours about it
for years.

I had to wonder about John Paul I. He only lasted 38 days after becoming
pope. Is there some significance to that? Was that God telling the Catholic
Church that they made a bad choice?

Funny, I read sometime back, I mean at least a year ago, that some
analyst said the next pope will be old. Consensus being John Paul II
had far too much time to put his stamp on the church. But, geez, I
didn't think they'd get someone that old and in that physical condition!

You can't get away from it. It takes up a whole section of my paper.
It's pre-empting tv shows left and right, it's so annoying. Peter Jennings
must be climbing the wall, this is right up his alley to bore people to
death with repetative commentary about some event like this.

Look, the smoke is white. No, it's not, oh bells are ringing.

Very annoying.

C'mon, think. His point was that the Pope claims there is no real problem
with pedophile priests, that the media is blowing it out of proportion.

That's about the size of it. The new pope maintains there are no more
pedophiles in the church population than the general population (about
1%), it just the press sensationalizing the issue. Unfortunately, he
seems to ignore the institutionalized delivery system (altar boys) and
the centuries old coverup mindset that keeps these creeps below the
radar. ......nevermind. Don't get me started.

What else can you expect when you recruit only from that segment of the male
population that will take a vow of celibacy. IMO, that virtually guarantees a
higher incidents of perverts because they have already indicated a perverse
attitude toward sex and women.

When John XXIII was elected in October 1958, he was 76. They elected him
because the man they really wanted had not yet been made a cardinal. They
pretty much expected Pope John to keep the Seat of Peter warm and then die,
leaving the way clear for the man they had really wanted -- a bishop that
Pope John soon made a cardinal. But, to everyone's surprise, rather than
dying early without accomplishing anything, Pope John summoned the Second
Vatican Council, resulting in the most massive changes in the Church than
the world had known in centuries.

So if an 'interim papacy' was the idea behind the election of Ratzinger to
the Papal office, the college of cardinals might be in for a rude awakening.

Most people in rfc know that I'm usually opposed to off topic posts here,
but this thread seems to be of general interest to quite a few regular
rfc'ers.

The subject of the thread couldn't be more clear. It would be easy for
anyone to avoid the subject if they had no interest.

Of course, you could just read another group!

Nope. According to the conspiracy theorists around here, he got
pushed off the twig because he'd stumbled on the "other" set of books
of Vatican finances.

I was suprised to read a few weeks ago that a Pope does not have to be
chosen from among the cardinals. There was a procedure specified for
cases where that might happen. Apparantly the last time it happened was
~600 years ago.

What's old? None of the cardinals are in their 30's are they? 40's? OTOH,
you do NOT have to be a cardinal to be elected pope. I was sort of hoping
myself, but I'm told my name never came up in the voting.

I thought I saw it, but they might have been saying, Ed's too old.

Just goofing around, I just thought it was amusing that I had read

I kinda prefer "Pope Pawli" myself. Sounds a little more down to earth.
<g> That would be "Pope Pawli I", right?

In fact, you don't even have to be a priest. Also you don't need to
be a priest to be a cardinal or a bishop. Bishops were lords of
ecclesiastical counties, essentially counts, and their authority,
until rcently, rerived from the monarchy, not the papacy. Same with
cardinals. The most famous cardinal, Richelieu, was not a priest,
although his successor, Mazarin, was. And how many popes were not
priests? Quite a few, starting with Peter and going up to the
Borgias :-)

Keep in mind that the status of the Pope was not defined as dogma
until Vatican I (1869-1870). And until then, the doctrine of
infallibility was not even hinted at.

Does anyone remember Donovan Leitch's song, Take a Poke at the Pope?

Have you ever seen a picture of Pope Paul?
Have you ever asked yourself this question:
would you trust this man with your soul now?
Would you trust this man, ask yourself now.
His eyes are sunken, his cheeks are hollow
While you poor the poor of the world, they follow
He hoarded up their gold in the Vatican.
Would you trust this man, ask yourself now.

A poke at the pope, that's what we're having
A poke at the pope, that's what we're having
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

*sigh* Good times...

I like the name suggestions.

My first plan was to change communion from that tiny wafer to something more
substantial. I'm thing Foccocia (with some cheese and herbs) and a glass of
Chianti.

New Popemobile will be a yellow Lamborghini.

No funny Kili, lots of serious work to do. Did you see all those old
buildings over there? Some aluminum siding would certainly spruce up the
neighborhood. Not to mentions some fresh asphalt over those old uneven
bricks in the square.

Al the burning candles are sooting up the walls and ceilings in the church.
They all need a couple of coats of good latex paint. Semi-gloss washes
better IMO.
