I am just hoping he applies a little less theology and a lot more real world. I don't envy him being expected to be able to 'fix' things that have happened over centuries. Nobody could do that without being a dictator. |

| 1332517 | 2013-03-14 03:02:00 | There was a delay between the actual election and the official announcement because two new clauses were to be added to the Papal Contract, and Papa Francesco I had to wait sittin on the Sedia Stercoraria while the 90 days probation period and the early leave clauses were added. | Sanco (683) | ||

| 1332519 | 2013-03-14 03:32:00 | I hear he is against contraception, abortion, gay marriages and adoption. What is new? My neighbour was in a church orphanage in the 30's. When bible bangers come to his door these days, he offers to show them his scars from the beatings...given in the name of God of course. He isn't joking, I have seen them. His back is quite a mess. He considers himself lucky because they didn't bugger him. No wonder my late Mum who was a devout christian all her life, used to say she could be nearer to God, sitting in a paddock or a forest, than she could ever be in any church with all their trappings and rubbish talk. Sorry :mad: Ken |

| 1332524 | 2013-03-14 05:31:00 | Hardly matters England is an Anglican country . Catholics live there at the Anglicans pleasure . Not entirely correct . The major difference between Catholicism and Anglicanism is the Anglicans do not accept the doctrine of the "infallibility" of the Pope . If you look further back to the defeat of Richard III, the last Plantagenet king , the subsequent rise of the House of Tudor and the various machinations of King Henry, the whole thing took on more of a political slant with a superficially religious blessing . |
