I wasn't expecting this one. I choked, then immediate tears, and they're still flowing.

Wow. That dude is extra Bavarian.

When do we find out who the new heads of the CDF and PBC are?

He's talking things over with a friend. :)







Yes, I truly believe that. They are soul mates.
Those tears of mine... flowing again.

Peace be with you dear FRiend.

On behalf of my wife Sara Anonymoussierra

And business shall be done. It’s about time this great Pope stand up against relativism and other humanistic theology which destroys essence of Christianity and unity with God. I'm not as religious as my wife, however I want church the way it used to be; simple and humble and straight forward. I especially want to see this Pope reign on those who have defile their priesthood and desecrated Most Holy God body and blood; I want this Pope to reign on those who say they are Catholics but approve abortion, homosexuality and other deprivations that makes church weak.

On behalf of Sara my wife Thank you

Wonderful pictures. Thank you very much! My only complaint is the reference to the "German Pope". He is German-born, but he is the Pope of all the RC church. I suppose that is how it was printed in the original source. They ought to be more accurate.

That is one funny photo -- and story. Thanks!

I'm very encouraged by the threads posted here that Benedict XVI will likely move to clean up the Augean stables of American seminaries. I think he even used the word "filth" (while he was still a cardinal) in referring to the sex scandal that has so devastated the Church here. Godspeed to Pope Benedict XVI.

I've read that Pope Benedict has never had a drivers license in his life.
