are people who have free thinking minds and emotions,and not brainwashed from an early age, actually intrested in which pensioner gets to tell a load of guillable people, that they cant be gay, have abortions, when they made a mistake and had sex which resulted in them having a kid,when they didnt want one, that they should give money every sunday in a huge building that isnt used during the week, to a chap in a dress who only works on a sunday,to subsidise the payments to abused children, and an organisation that fails to do anything about its preists who have abused children from a position of authority.

They could elect Worzel Gummidge as pope, for all that most people care.

Some days it seems like every thread on STW is about paypal problems.

Winner.

Ooh, that’s a good one!

From a militant feminist, what a surprise.

Laurie penny’s hardly rad fem, it’s quite funny though 🙂

Surely the one message that is synonymous with the Catholic Church down through the ages is…

Careful now!

That would be an ecumenical matter…. Yes. Drink.

Bravo Sir, well played.

My apologies in that case – I have to admit that comment wasn’t based on the article particularly, but when I saw the name of the author I inwardly groaned – only remember coming across her once before on some radio programme where she was doing a full-on hardcore impression of being a militant feminist.

Give the guy a break….he’s getting on and I reckon he just wants to spend time at home playing with his kids.

That last post is begging for a FTFY, but I ain’t doing it

😉

Maybe he’s just giving up Popeing for Lent?

the ‘saville’ inquiry going international ?

Odds of Richard Dawkins being the next Pope – 666/1.

Maybe that’s simply how you perceived her, rather than how she actually is.

For some reason Tim Minchin’s ‘pope song’ is rattling through my head.

Not recommended if there are kids about.

Apparently there’s no disputes allowed if you tick the “god’s gift” box.

are people who have free thinking minds and emotions,and not brainwashed from an early age, actually intrested in which pensioner gets to tell a load of guillable people [a lot of important stuff]

Yes…for that very reason. Maybe you should think more about it!

My couldntgiveaflyingfckometer has just registered no interest in the leader of a silly club resigning

Yes, this has absolutely no relevance for non-Catholics at all. 🙄

Easy tiger, I detect sarcasm! I didn’t say it was relevant, I just said that I don’t care that he has resigned. I’m not daft, I do understand that the church has relevance outside of the church (unfortunately)

She’s just bitter because she’s just a glorified rib.

It’s been a good thread for jokes but this one wins it.

for all that most people care.

Aren’t something like 1 in every 5 people on earth Catholic ?

([edit] nowhere near 1 in 5 actually, but still 1.2 Billion ish)

That’s quite a lot of people that probably care a bit.

Does Lemmy care..?
I’ll care if Lemmy cares

I don’t get it. 🙁

Read Genesis then grum.

Is Phil Collins the pope?

Of all the improbable things in the Bible, I find it hard to believe that the pope is a drummer.

Lightning strikes Vatican on the day the pope resigns

and a church in Abbeyhill, edinburgh caught fire.

Now that is just too much to be a coincidence, isn’t it!

Grum god took a rib from adam to make woman hence the glorified rib reference

And the feminist mag “Spare Rib”.

Wait, you’re a teacher aren’t you?
Careful what you profess to be fact 😉

LOL JOKES

Pat Mcquaid would make a good pope as he has years of experience of leading an organisation thats primary objective is to maintain power, wealth and influence rather that do what is morally right.
