Pope's Mystery Cardinal Could Be Revealed

I believe the mystery cardinal is from Red China. If anyone reveals him, he'll be murdered.

[wagglebee]

If he could make it out of China (or whatever country) and be named at before the conclave, a position could be provided for him in Rome.

"Will the world ever find out who was picked?"

Idunno, I hope he can give them bullpen support.

[chgomac]

I think China or North Korea

[Captainpaintball]

If murdered, it would hopefully spark a revolution in that country. At the least, it may create a PR nightmare that may likely hurt them where it counts--in the wallet.

But then again, once the red Chinese steal all our know-how, and make everything by themselves, would they really need our money? And would we be too dependent on them for our clothes, shoes, electronice, and cars that we would be in any position to do anything about it?

I like humor. God likes humor.

But, let's give it a break shall we, until at least after the funeral and the man is given his proper burial? Thanks!

Could this be related?

"The Vatican said yesterday that Chineses authorities have carried out a new series of arrests of officials from China's illegal Roman Catholic Church.

The most recent arrest occurred Wednesday, when a priest was picked up in Hebei, the same diocese whose bishop was arrested Jan. 3.

In a prepared statement, the Vatican said security forces also detained the 86-year-old bishop of Wenzhou, Monsignor James Lin Xili, on March 20 and, two days later, a lay offical of the diocese.

China broke ties with the Vatican in 1951 and demands that Catholics worship only in churches approved by the state-controlled church group. Government churches do not recognize the pope's authority, although they acknowledge the pope as spiritual leader.

Many Chinese Catholics remain fiercely loyal to Rome and risk arrest by worshipping in unofficial churches and private homes."

Okay, now that was funny.

Trivia for all: Do you know why the dude stopped doing Fr. Guido? Public pressure? Nah, come on.

Apparently, he stopped doing it . . . because he lost the hat.

TS
(btw, I saw Fr. Guido one more time after I read that -- wearing a pill box cap.)

[mabelkitty]

Yes, just because the Pope, we need to reveal this guy's name so he'll be killed.
Stupid people.

[AmericanInTokyo]

agreed. it was inappropriate.

i hope he/she takes it off.

[wagglebee]

He won't be killed if he can make it safely to Rome.

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Idunno, I hope he can give them bullpen support.

It's the Vatican version of "a player to be named later".

[RichInOC]

No, I'm guessing that if the Pope were going to give Father Guido a red hat, he would have just gone ahead and done it. Beat reporters for L'Osservatore Romano don't need that kind of security.

[theDentist]

... or North Korea, with the same consequences.

[Hot Tabasco]

If there are more than 117 votes, I will suspect a democrat conspiracy.........

Here's an example of somebody 'full of it'. Namely, you, I think. I've read your comments about Terri Schiavo and about some other issues including Catholicism; I'm not that amused but all I can do is forgive you and hope you'll just go your way.

Re: Terri Schiavo, for example,

"To: Diogenesis, She's smiling? Gimmie a break, you could wave poo on a stick in her (Terri's) face and shed still have that look on he face...whats your point?" 134 posted on 03/26/2005 8:18:15 PM EST by stuck_in_new_orleans [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 126 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]
