That sounds like the Pope.

The old Pope was a lot cooler.

Possibily involved in organized crime... but a lo cooler.

This Pope really was a reactionary measure vs the advances John Paul put foward to the Church.  I remember people were expecting the first Black or Latino pope... or one from one of the less conservatie sets.

However, they ended up with this Pope... under what is believed to be a "Sarah Palin" like compromise.

Nobody really wanted him, but nobody really disliked him too bad... plus he's so old. (but they're all old!)

hell yes. i'm not really religious, but this guy was cool.

They're all old, but this guy is 82.  He was 77 when elected.


For a comparison John Paul was 58 when elected.  Usually the aim for popes around 60... and just assassanate them if they don't like them.

Ok, there is no proof John Paul 1 was assassanted but dieing 33 days into your papacy when you've got to have some of the best medical care around... seems farfetched to me.  I mean no autopsy on the body of the POPE.  Really the Catholic Church doesn't want to make sure no foul play effected the spirtual link between god and the earth?

 

One of only two conspiracies i believe in.
