Are you a priest or is your celibacy unintentional?
are they hoping that one of the leftwing cardinals can mount a challenge and have a run off?? LOLOLOL!
Dies irae, dies illa!
solvet saeclum in favilla,

quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus.
ROFL
Mahoney??? Sorry, I just can't abide that man.
MSNBC reports that the Holy Father won by four votes!
That is bull... MSNBC is so low.. they think they know the votes. Wrong... The votes were burned and no one will ever know. No matter how hard they try they loose.
The vote was 3/4 plus 1 of all Cardinals voting. If 118 Cardinals.
What colossal nerve!
115 voted.
Impossible that he won by a mere 4 votes.
A lot of liberals will be in therapy for a while. [irony]
Dear Darkwolf,
The teaching of the Catholic Church is that Jesus founded the Catholic Church, and He founded it upon Simon Peter. He gave to Peter the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, the power to bind and loose, thus making Peter the "prime minister," so to speak, of Jesus' Church.
From this comes the title "Vicar of Christ," as a vicar is someone who governs in the place of another, the other being the actual ruler, and a prime minister governs in the place of, and under the authority of the King.
Hope that helps.

See my post #1507 on this thread.
I guess I get the feeling that no one else (ok, very few) thinks like that! Lots want to bash everyone that has ever sinned--I feel sorry for everyone struggling with the Church's teachings. I don't think they are evil.
Ratzinger IS Jewish! How can he be a Jew hater if he is himself Jewish?
MSNBC didn't even mention it was 'four votes' over the 3/4ths margin needed to win! Which would be 90 some out of 140
they had some one read the smoke signals coming out of the stack?
Wunderbeer!
"The left is greatly saddened. And angered."
Hooray! Hooray! What a beautiful day!
I noticed his eyes as well. Filled with humility.

How do you integrate the doctrine of global universalism (JPll)...
with the doctrine of traditional RC theology -that only RCC is true religion (Ratzinger) ??
This shall be interesting!
