Pope Benedict to resign

[Haunted]

He speaks five or six languages...a pretty smart man.

Read a little bit 'bout him, like his view of the world and wouldn't it be cool to have a pope from Quebec!

And what I meant was that there are cliques within the conclave, each with their favorite.

Ah, gotcha. Didn't read it as such originally. Fully agree, which is why it usually takes them a few tries to get it right! lol

What does wearing women's clothes have to do with being gay? I'm a gay male and I do not wear women's clothes. This is a bit offensive.

It isn't an anti gay meme it's an anti catholicism meme.If anything it's pro homsexuality.

It isn't an anti gay meme it's an anti catholicism meme.If anything it's pro homsexuality.

But it equates homosexuality with cross dressing which I find offensive. The stereotype that all gay man like to dress in drag is so wrong.

And it is NOT "pro homosexuality." There is nothing positive about it, and it also offends me as a Catholic.

people...listen to me. You cant argue about religion, its pointless.

Some of you will understand the::
Roland refused to let the senior Manni guy, Hencheck, drag him into a theology
debate...
Hencheck would have debated forever...Roland side stepped the discussion
and moved on with his business .

...Move On...

We are not arguing. We are discussing. And from discussion comes knowledge and enlightenment. Its good for the soul...no matter who or what you believe in.

Eh?

The next pope could be a Canadian. I can see it now....poutine at the Vatican.

I'm a french canadian and I would be proud that a french canadian cardinal access to the ''holy seat'', but not cardinal Ouellet, thank you. That wont be an improvement as far as making the church progressive. He's certainly a very competent man for many Vatican jobs, but at the end, putting him on THE SEAT, would be a mistake. He's very conservative, wont accept that women have leading jobs in the church, is against the condoms and abortions ( even when the poor girl has been raped ). He doesn't show any signs of wanting to change or even think about making some progress. Na...unless he makes a very important ''virage'' , and in the right way, I don't want him there and many of my friends share my views, not counting my husband. I wish Jean Paul II was still alive to give his opinion. When I was born Pope Pie XII was there, and we know that he never reacted to atrocity of the holocaust. I mean what's the use of having a pope who's not a leader and prones progress. I heard that Benedict XVI tweeted. Marc Ouellet wont tweet and I'm certain he doesn't have a cell phone. That's another story of course, sorry. But I dont want a regressive pope. Churches are empty here in Quebec, most of the time and we all know why.
I must say something though. I have a devotion for Jean Paul II. When I talk to him in my prayers, I'm sure he listens. I have been experiencing real signs of that. Maybe he could inspire Marc Ouellet to become a people pope like he was. I hope so. BTW, I think it was a good decision that Benedict made. I admire him for that.
