(One) Aikanaro wisps: "Navarro-Valls told reporters that the operation doctors performed to cut a small breathing hole in the pope’s neck "was not an emergency procedure.""
(One) Aikanaro wisps: If it wasn't an emergency, did they do it for fun?
(One) Rigneoir wisps: ... Cosmetic?
(One) Soft wisps: It was to attach a kazoo to him, Aik
(One) Pthag wisps: ...
(One) Pthag wisps: I want a pope with a kazoo.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Apparently there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Pope except for the fact that he keeps being rushed to hospital because he can't breathe.
(One) Pthag wisps: Or speak very well. Or stand up
(One) Aikanaro wisps: He has been advised not to speak at all, now.
(One) Pthag wisps: Yees. a trachaeotomy will do that to you.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: "The pope wrote a note Thursday night to his aides saying, “What did they do to me?” Navarro-Valls said, describing it as a joking message."
(One) Aikanaro wisps: He then went on to write "Let me out, you gutless heathens".
(One) Aikanaro wisps: (Not Actually True.)
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Oh, and right under the part where they say he's getting better there's a link to a slide-show that 'spans the life of Pope John Paul II'.
(One) Dungeon wisps: So this Pope guy, he's the one on trial for touching kids, right? :p
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Don't be silly, Dungeon.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: The Pope is a Catholic.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Catholics don't go on trial for that.
(One) Dungeon wisps: Who does the pope confess to? :/
(One) Aikanaro wisps: God.
(One) Caira wisps: (Nobody. He can't speak.)
(One) Aikanaro wisps: And then God strikes him down.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: "I thought about that nurse again before I left the hospital, God. Sorry."
(One) Aikanaro wisps: WHAM
(One) Pthag wisps: Any priest can hear anybody's confession.
(One) Vikki wisps: Yes, we can.
(One) Soft wisps: Like me! Give me your gossip :)
(One) Pthag wisps: Indeed.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: My goal in life is to excommunicate the Pope.
(One) Forgeta wisps: Who is going to be the next Pope?
(One) Pthag wisps: Don't know until he's elected.
(One) Forgeta wisps: Can we elect you Pthag?
(One) Pthag wisps: Yeah, Forgeta, it is very vaguely possible that the Council of Cardinals elect me.
(One) Pthag wisps: I am still officially on the Papist roster.
(One) Forgeta wisps: Odds of 600'000'000 to I?
(One) Pthag wisps: Possibly even less.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: I'd vote for Pthag.
(One) Pthag wisps: Incidentally, none of you know any Catholic cardinals, do you?
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Incidentally, how does somebody get to become a Cardinal?
(One) Pthag wisps: Simple. By first becoming a priest and then playing the politics game.
(One) Forgeta wisps: You get to be a priest, then a bishop, then a cardinal... or you play with the pope and he elects you too
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Hmm. Pthag, if you become Pope please make me a Cardinal.
(One) Pthag wisps: No, Aikanaro, you aren't Catholic.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: But neither are most Catholics, Pthag.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: You have to actually believe in God to be a proper Christian, and most people don't really. Therefore I'm actually more faithful to the faith than the faithful are.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Since I *know* I don't believe.
(One) Methew wisps: Isn't that actualy slightly less fsaithful?
(One) Aikanaro wisps: No, because I'm following the rules laid down by them.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Moreso than they are.
(One) Methew wisps: Isn't the main one to believe in and accept Jesus though?
(One) Forgeta wisps: Actually... most high up bishops and things don't believe in God.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Yeah, probably.
(One) Forgeta wisps: The higher up the line, the more secrets are revealed and the less the belief can survive because ignorance is bliss in this case.
(One) Forgeta wisps: Politics.
(One) Soft wisps: They don't beleive in secret.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: See? I have more respect for their religion than most Bishops do.
(One) Aikanaro wisps that he nods sagely.
(One) Dungeon wisps: Recon the pop tells his cardianls "Btw, ya know god's not real, right d00dz?" :/
(One) Aikanaro wisps: POP
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Pope, Dungeon. Pope.
(One) Methew wisps: Dungeon's the pope?
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Yes.
(One) Forgeta wisps: He can't say it, he's cursed! He's a witch!
(One) Aikanaro wisps: He's the next pope.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Ssh. It's a secret.
(One) Methew wisps that he comforts Pthag. Looks like you're not gonna win.
(One) Dungeon wisps that he plans to promotes Aikanaro to Cardinal when he gets elected.
(One) Pthag wisps: Oh well.
(One) Pthag wisps: Dungeon will make a fine pope.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Hurray!
(One) Pthag wisps: I will have to console myself by being ANTIPOPE.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: An antelope?
(One) Forgeta wisps: Promote me too Dungeon :)
(One) Dungeon wisps: No.
(One) Dungeon wisps: You're a woman.
(One) Nyoink wisps: A cantloupe?
(One) Dungeon wisps: Women can't be carinal.
(One) Forgeta wisps: You can't be an antelope Pthag... You are too Dear ;)
(One) Dungeon wisps: *cardinal.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Women can't be carnal?
(One) Nyoink wisps: Women can't be carnal?
(One) Aikanaro wisps: HAH
(One) Forgeta wisps: Can so, we commit cardinal sins *nodnods*
(One) Pthag wisps: Pope Innocent XIV, I am.
(One) Methew wisps: Wow, I feel suddenly innocent-minded. I thought "carnival".
(One) Pthag wisps: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
(One) Kana wisps: Carnival of Sins?
(One) Kana wisps: Sounds dubious.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: If I ever become Pope, I will rename the position to High Emperor of Mankind.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: And then blaspheme all day.
(One) Faux wisps that she would vote for Aikanaro.
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Doesn't matter, the vote will be rigged.
(One) Pthag wisps: "No longer am I servant to the servants of God!"
(One) Aikanaro wisps: Quite so.
