New Pope Elected

[mellenORL]

At least Ratzinger looked the part, in an honest way.....didn't you, Pope Nosferatu, O Foul Breath of Corruption...errrmmm, I mean, Benedict, Pope of the Sith and Exalted of the Empire! Dang, sure gonna miss the gifs and photoshops of ol' Bene.

This new dude looks like a short order cook at a diner in 'Jersey. Put a paper hat on him, and order your eggs over medium, wheat toast, and hash browns.

I decided to begin the Photoshop trend.

I know, I'm a bad, bad person.

He looks like the father from Arrested Development.

Dammit. Now I have to do that one too.



It's funnier when he looks like he's holding a Bible.

Here's an article on the new Pope's involvement in the Dirty War--or lack thereof:

Goes into a little more detail than the other articles on the subject, but still essentially the same thing: no evidence whatsoever. A lot of accusations without a lot of weight to them, and yet people want them to be true so they can have more reasons to hate him.

Now that I've caught my breath after laughing 'til I choked....3 fuck yeahs to you, for these 'shops, and all the research and article writing you've done in the New Korean War thread! (fuck yeahs limited to one per hour - my promise shall be kept!   )

Woo!

Just about sums it up. People need to relax: I'm sure he'll do plenty to make us hate him. Believe me, there's no need to invent charges.

And this is reason why I'm NOT going to miss Ratzinger, as a Palpatine fangirl, one can only take so many Pope/Palpatine jokes. Now bring on the father from Arrested Development jokes.

You have now made me curious as to whether anyone has done an image of Ratzinger falling into the core of the second Death Star.

Fuck this guy already. "Shit, time to pick a new pope! Man, the direction of the world seems to be changing a lot. People want change. Let's elect a homophobe, that should work out.

Given the candidate pool, I'm not sure they could find one who wasn't a homophobe.

There's the Catholic church for you... homosexuals are the devil but pedophiles they're A-OK with.

The man had his first Mass today and came in wearing a plain white cassock and a wooden cross.  Dude then preached a sermon on living how they say in the Bible.  Props for the message but until he starts setting up bonfire's outside with certain priests as the center, I'm not holding my breath.

Ironbite-see the new boss same as the old boss;.

I asked that when he resigned. Still haven't seen someone deliver.

When I know how to edit GIFs, though....

Congratulation Catholic Church!  You have now moved into the 2nd Century!

Is there really any purpose for this other than to be offensive?  Do you feel better by bringing people you don't agree with down like this?

Seriously, comments like this piss me off.  I don't think they serve any real purpose except to be mean.
