edit: nevermind.

 

[AirBrian]

Yeah, I just saw this too on CNN and FOXNews.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Heh...they can't tell if it's white or black. Mass confusion and end of the world ensues.

 

[Rocket9]

Am I the only who thinks several cardinals vote for the oldest pope so they have another chance to become themself in the near future? Waiting 25 years must be hell for these guys

 

[Willco]

YOU JUST GOT POPE'D!

 

[Do The Mario]

Heh...they can't tell if it's white or black. Mass confusion and end of the world ensues.

Micahel Jackson the next pope?

 

[AzN_F15h]

..........and there are the bells

 

[Kola]

two days only? that's fast!

i guess it will be Ratzinger, that conservative idiot. oh well...glad i'm an ex-roman-catholic.

 

[whytemyke]

this is so cool. watching history on my tv... badass stuff. god bless technology.

 

[AzN_F15h]

Micahel Jackson the next pope?

lmfao

 

[Borys]

Ya, the bells are ringing here as well. Ratziger or the Italian guy?

this is so cool. watching history on my tv... badass stuff. god bless technology.

Agree, that's really cool. Imagine that the next time something like this happens (pope dies) we will be well over 40, close to 50 even :O

Gives you some thinking material...

 

[Dan]

Bah.

If only the attention paid to WAITING for a decision could be spent on something important, like the troubles in Darfur or everywhere else in Africa for that matter. Or you know, anything else that doesn't involve speculation and coverage of waiting.

 

[Rocket9]

Micahel Jackson the next pope?

He certainly have something in common with priests. You all know what, dont make me say it

 

[iapetus]

i guess it will be Ratzinger

That would be Cardinal Ratzinger, ex Hitler Youth member, "God's Rottweiler", Grand Inquisitor?

Damn it, even his name makes him sound like the bad guy in a trashy historical novel. Can they really be that insane? Make the man pope and I give it three weeks before he's cackling maniacally and holding the world to ransom.

Maybe four at the outside.

 

[gofreak]

*Crosses fingers for a "liberal"*

*More realistically crosses fingers for anyone but Ratzinger*

edit - oh, and he was hitler youth? That'll make a good talking point at dinner when my parents starts talking about how wonderful he is. Oh, and I'd prefer to call him the Church's Rottweiler, rather than "God's Rottweiler"..through the millenia they got a little out of touch, methinks :/

 

[Kola]

 

[Rei_Toei]

It shouldn't be an European.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Popeorri

 

[Rocket9]

Well I wont be able to sleep tonight

 

[whytemyke]

I hope its that african guy, so we can see just how stupid and racist many of these zealots are...

 

[Rorschach]

It's gonna be like an hr before he comes out if they're still getting his garments ready. -_-

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I kinda doubt it's Ratzinger. I'll be surprised if it's him.

 

[dog$]

Bah.

Hm.
Number of threads about Rwanda started by Dan = 0.

Who's this Ratzinger guy? *opens Google*

 

[shakezula]

-

 

[Doth Togo]

:lol

 

[Lucky Forward]

Who's this Ratzinger guy? *opens Google*

I think he played Cliff Clavin on Cheers.

 

[sprsk]

i heard on the radio that there is a high chance that its this guy from argentina

 

[Smiles and Cries]

he has to pick a new name before he comes out right?

he should go online and do that pimp name thing

 

[Duck of Death]

Ratzinger was basically John Paul's right-hand man, correct? He may be right-wing and conservative, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is the "OMG EVIL D00D" that some publications make him out to be.

 

[Borys]

He will either pick Paul the Seventh (?) or John Paul the Third.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

New POPE

 

[Sho Nuff]

HERE COMES THE POPE

 

[whytemyke]

Ladies and Gentlemen... your new pope!

"HOW YOU RIKE ME NOW, AMERICANS?!"

 

[mrmyth]

All this shit going on, I feel like Donkey in Shrek1.....


"New Pope! New Pope! New Pope!..........This would be so much more interesting if I was Catholic!"

 

[whytemyke]

i'm actually missing class to see this shit.

i really believe that if the papacy goes to Europe, it could do a lot to the political milieu of the world.

 

[CajoleJuice]

"New Pope! New Pope! New Pope!..........This would be so much more interesting if I was Catholic!"

Trust me, it isn't.

 

[Flizzzipper]

New pope, sponsered by fedex.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I have no tv

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Bah, call me when you got a fucking name.

 

[Duck of Death]

It's Ratzinger

 

[jobber]

I have no tv

any online feeds? free ones?

msnbc.com now

 

[FnordChan]

NPR is reporting that the new pope is Ratzinger.

Get in line in that processional
Step into that small confessional
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original

If it is, try playin' it safer
Drink the wine and chew the wafer
Two, four, six, eight
Time to transubstantiate!

FnordChan, doin' the Vatican Rag

 

[Rocket9]

Officially Ratzinger under the name Benoit XVI (well in french at least)

 

[Willco]

RAAAAAATZIINNNNNGER!

 

[whytemyke]

So this guy was a hitler youth, hm?

leave it to the catholics to fuck up a golden opportunity.

 

[radiuhm]
