pope

It is amazing that television (e.g., CNN) and radio (e.g., public radio) still use terms like "developments from the Vatican" or "breaking news from the Vatican" and the like. WHAT developments? WHAT breaking news? The pope is still dead, isn't he? Weren't the post-death procedures mostly...

As I came to work today, I noticed my buildings flags at half-mast. The reason is obvious: The Pope died. This caused a twinge of irritation in me because I don't feel that we should honor religious leaders that way. What if it is a religion that you don't respect? Should we also show...

We all know that just about every year, some psychic, some where, via some method of communication predicts the death of Pope John Paul II or alternately just "The Pope." Currently, as of 1:10PM PST, Pope John Paul II's kidneys and other organs are failing. It seemse very likely that he'll...

From CNN: Vatican expected to announce JPII's death. I guess he's about to get first hand proof that his religion is a fraud. I wonder if he'll come back and tell us via JE or Sylvia?? It's almost time to stick a fork in the old boy. :( -z

If not, he better get one....... Pope getting nutrition from a tube ;)

Sez William F. Buckley. Jr. Now that's just cold, Bill. Even I, no particular fan of the Pope, won't wish for his demise.

Hello folks, I recently heard what I beleive to be a rather unlikely story- that William of Orange (William III of England), was funded by and blessed by the pope prior to the Battle of the Boyne. I find this unlikely because William was a Protestant fighting against Catholicism on the...

Okay, Bush visited the Pope recently, and the Pope reamed Bush for the abuses in Abu Ghraib. I don't like Bush, the invasion was a crock, the Bush admin are d*cks, etc. BUT I think that before the Pope scolds Bush about abuses that happened under his watch, the Pope needs to take a freaking...

Who do you think will arrive first?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Nick Pope, perhaps the UK's leading UFO expert (see http://www.nickpope.net/index.html)? During 1991-1994 he was the UK Ministry of Defence's UFO Desk Officer. Since then, however, he has been milking it for all it's worth. I'm trying to decide...

I've read a few times that the current Pope has admitted the fact of human evolution and that a belief in evolution is not incompatible with faith in God. Did he really say this? Does anyone have any references?

Maybe Im living in a bag or this is old news or a hoax, but did the Pope actually say that even those who dont believe in Christ could go to "heaven" if they led a just life a while back? If this is true isn't that considered blasmphemy to the fundies? Peace and Elbow Grease, Malfunktro
