how about we name the next pop after one who saw a need to begin the defensive wars known as the crusades?

I'd as soon have another Urban, all of that name have had a history of hostility to muslims.

I'm keeping my mobile phone with me at all times. Should I get the call from Rome, be prepared for Pope Bubba.

How do you like the associations Reuters makes with "conservatism":

"rejected democracy"; "rejected modern liberal politics" (OK, not so bad); "autocratic".

I don't know why I bother complaining...I should be used to it by now.

[ "Simon changed his name to Peter, which means rock," he added. "Because Christ said he was the rock on which he would build the Church." ]

Almost correct....
"Because Christ said he was "A" rock on which he would build the Church."
