the Pope
I don’t get it. If he was such a “good person” why is everybody so upset he died? If what he believes is true, he’s in a much better place, right?
Viewing all reactions I can only conclude that a) he wasn’t such a good person after all, and b) whatever he believed in doesn’t exist. That would also fit all other evidence one can see on the Catholic Church…
Ah well, at least the media has another reason to avoid talking about difficult subjects..

Might I suggest a black, lesbian pope next? We have had enough white, conservative, invalid, (homosexual?) males, for the past thousant years. (Ok, I know about this one woman pope, but she had to pretend to be male, that is differend from being lesbian.)
The world would be better off with a pope (what ever flavor) that would see condoms for what they are: something to battle AIDS with. Tacktics that used to work in Europe (“Go forth and miltipy.”) do not work in presend day Africa, they will all just endup getting AIDS, it will not give the roman catholics world domination, even they should understand that by now.
GO FORTH AND DO NOT FORGET TO USE A CONDOM!
You have to pick ‘em from the cardinals. Note, though, that there is no canonical obstacle as to appointing a black, lesbian cardinal, but only a pope can do that, and we don’t have one at the moment. So, better luck next time.
There’s no rule that says the new pope has to come from the cardinals. The habit is to pick one from their own group, but that’s no fixed rule. I’m sure they would still do that even if Jesus himself had His Second Coming somewhere in the next two weeks.
John, you are correct, however I do think there are rules. For them to appoint one not their own, they need a devine sign from god. As luck would have it, it’s not described exactly what this sign would look like. So there still is a snoball’s chance in hell that they will appoint a black lesbian. On the other hand, this person would not be accepted, because at some point in the seremony, the new pope has to sit down on a chair with a hole in
the seat, a cardinal then feels if the new pope has a scrotum, and if so, cries “habat” (latin, for “he has”, but I always think of it as “Got it!”). This would be a hard test to pass for a black lesbian, without the help of modern science.
