The Pope is resigning

[El Pibe]

That's the fella, though it was really a series of wars that noone could quite remember why anyone had thought it was a good idea in the first place by the end .

We had one about the same time, except at the end the winners wholeheartedly embraced what it had been really about all along, which wasn't all this honourable parliamentary independence stuff, but eradicating the world of papists.

It was more fun when we had three popes!

Ah yes, the True Pope, the Grid Pope and the Magnetic Pope.

It ought to be a gay pope, surely?

The modernising winds of change have been blowing through the papacy for a while now - and I feel the time is right.

[StraferJack]

Openly gay, surely *Bob*?

Or are you saying you know that none of the previous popes haven't been?

[El Pibe]

Given tradition in Italian and vatican politics, there was a period when Popes were always rich, powerful, scheming, womanising types carving out their own empire and far more concerned about temporal than spiritual matters.

Surely there's only one candidate for the role!!!

 

[*Bob*]

I think he's see it as a demotion, Pibe

If you were planning a trip to Rome you might want to go sooner rather than later.

He is acting like a true catholic, withdrawing early.

[maxxi]

Good of him to at least work his notice. Wonder if he'll walk away with a Golden Blessing?

[Otta]

Time for a total revamp...

Simon Cowell has been approached to modernise the selection process.

It's going to be rebranded as

Pope Idol

[uncleglen]

I thought it was the sort of job you died on too- kind of goes with the territory- like monks and nuns- maybe he's totally lost his faith or maybe he has recently watched 'The Meaning of Life'

Well, they started it. And therefore have a lot to answer for. What's a little indulgence and nepotism between friends.

[giggirl]

Maybe he wants to concentrate on his golf.

[Mick Mac]

Yes he should be approaching his prime. Yes very funny.

[the-e-dealer]

Oh no. Next you will tell me some northerner has been sacked from football management.

[woodrot]

He wans to spend more time with his family

Good point but I cannot see that happening, as the Catholic Church are very conservative system and very male dominate.

[Otta]
