You will be aware of its occurrence, if and when it occurs, and will regret your posts deeply. Just my experience.

I'll stick with the Catholic church, they have about 1,950 more years of experience that you do....

Then I can say you'll probably 'stick' with Obama; for he has LOTs more 'experience' at being President than you do.

Likewise...

...I can say you'll probably 'stick' with Pope Francis; also; for he has LOTs more 'experience' at being Supreme Leader of the RCC than you do.

AHHHhhh...

Experience!

How can you NOT go along with a religious organization that has produced such 'experienced' guys as these??



Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
