"I am catholic before anyone starts on me!!! The Vatican is the largest marijuana factory in the world. The last pope had a massive whitey, hence the smoke. He's now absolute shit faced and they can smoke no more their session has now officially ended. Due to the whitey they have no choice but to appoint someone who is more capable of having a proper session. Lol. Now off to confession. No doubt lots of hail Marys and prayers to say as I repent my sins?!! " mmmm can I play with your rosary beads? | |||

And no I'm not Catholic You will find that on this site which is the source of tons of un, banter and good natured teasing there is sometimes an element of lack of respect when it comes to things like religion. Lets face it.. people can believe what they like, other people can challenge the beliefs. Nothing wrong with that. Mocking however, in my books of religion or beliefs or other people's opinion is not ok really. But surely if your a none believer its the same as having a banter about different football teams How many people die every year over football? How many die over religion? How many have died with nothing to do with either That's a complete red herring. The posts I replied to were about football and religion. No red herring, a fact The two things aren't mutually exclusive. The posts were about football and religion - not "nothing to do with either" The original post was nothing to do with religion, it was informing a pope has been selected , tho in a tongue cheek manner by the op, no reference to football nor religion, you posted your comment , I've posted mine, . O dear do you not agree, surprise surprise, predictable lol I can oly point out diamondsmiles post (above) But surely if your a none believer its the same as having a banter about different football teams That looks like a reference to religion and football. Quite possibly, but you chose to be critical of my comment, and point out your feelings to mine, I have merely done same to yours. So you admit your post was irrelevant to the thread?" Indeed not considering it was as relevant to the topic as your was, You posed a question as to how many had died due to 2 factors , I merely added a 3rd factor, do not see anything wrong in that , do you | |||

In the same way they always do, they will get behind him and back him all the way. At 76 I wonder how long he will last and therefore how soon it will be before another set of old men choose another old man to lead one of the most powerful global institutions there is. | |||

"So we have a Latin American pope. It is good for the Catholic church to be moving into a new era. Its a shame that, if you believe or don't so many feel the need to mock religion so openly when lots rely so much on what it offers. Many an aethist starts praying once the rounds are incoming ! The old "there are no atheists in foxholes" argument. which is palpable nonsense You miss the point. Irrespective of faith or belief, a little respect to others beliefs should be afforded. And no I'm not Catholic any religious belief? or just the fluffy ones? one would swear you're being antagonistic ! you mean hostility towards the church? absolutely. Don't confuse practising Christianity with the infrastructure of the churches. I respect your opinions and in answer to your question no I don't practice religion, however I do find it disturbing how eager some are to ridicule and abuse those who do. Possibly they have insecurities " You'd have to have been living in a cave recently to not know about the sexual predators that are rife within the Catholic Church. That's my problem with it. To protect itself the Vatican have been systematically sweeping under the carpet these deviant priests within it's brotherhood. The worst offenders have been packed off to new parishes in the middle of nowhere where nobody knows of them - or of their pasts. Just this week the Catholic Church in the USA has agreed to pay $9MILLION in compensation to some of the victims of it's priests. When the Vatican decides to hold a transparent inquiry - and make it's findings public - into it's entire worldwide priesthood and excommunicate those priests it uncovers as sexual perverts, then maybe it will earn my respect. I will never be a believer in God though, but then I don't believe that a person's faith in God and a person's religion are necessarily the same thing. | |||

"Thankyou for helping clarify that. Any idea about the language? " At that level they're all well versed in Latin. Most cardinals have spent time in Rome over the years and have a working knowledge of Italian, and many of them are multilingual anyway. Many of the languages spoken in South America are Latin-based languages too, so you'll often find a Spaniard or an Italian speaking with a Brazilian or an Argentine and both are easily understood by the other. | |||

The Whispering Gallery at the base of the Dome was cool though, I got Siren to stand on the opposite side to me and whisper something - and I heard what she said! Then we walked up the inside of the Dome to the top, it is double skinned so you actually walk up INSIDE the actual Dome wall, and as it's a dome you walk up it leaning sideways the higher up you go until you emerge at the top where you can see the whole of Rome, almost. It's a really neat building, but as for feeling 'God', nah, he was out. | |||

"I havent looked it up at all, but I don't understand the significance of the Jesuit bit - was never a fan of the Da Vinci code hooha" There are two main (and generally opposing) 'extreme' (but we ain't talking Muslim-type extreme) factions in the Roman Catholic Church: The Jesuits (The Society of Jesus) and Opus Dei (a bit like the a Catholic S.A.S who just lurrrrve a bit of self-inflicted pain). 'Gentile' Roman Catholics will be watching very closely over the next few months to see what direction this pontificate is going. The Jesuits don't take prisoners.... literally! | |||
