WE HAVE A POPE!!!

[Howlin]

Well, we all know I have been called a raving harpy for years; I think I'll start being one........LOL.

Who the hell ARE these people?

[Mo1]

Yep!

[Ciexyz]

Cokie Roberts was having a cow on ABC about this new pope! Tee hee!

[hattend]

Reading some of the posts here about DU, I think you'll have some good fodder for the DuFu files.

[murphE]

Again, where is sinkspur?

[DannyTN]

"Ezekiel" and "Revelation"

Is that better? I'm from Louisiana, it's a wonder I can spell at all.

[najida]

Yeah, but when folks show their butts,
we get to chew on them! ;)

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

"Is Ratzinger a Benedictine?"

No. I'm just looking at the name he chose.

[Miss Behave]

FEARLESS is right, Ann. God bless and keep them ALL.

What a GLORIOUS day. Thank you, my sweet and loving Lord.

[LilDarlin]

And lots of people won't forget.

Thinly veiled catholic threat!

I know...let's have another Inquisition...all non-believers must either renounce their mistaken beliefs, or die a heretic!

But die they will!

I'll go get ready for the knock on my door.

As to the "lots of people won't forget" comment: so many many more will and have already. I have no concern over the tiny minority of the rest of you.

Hopefully very soon, Pope John Paul II will be named Saint John Paul II, the Great.

[Howlin]

Somebody up the thread mentioned he's been MIA lately......LOL.

BTW, the Cardinal evidently also said if you VOTE for a candidate who supports abortion, you should be denied also.

[fatnotlazy]

He looks a bit like Mondale.

Poor guy...he's starting off wrong already. LOL

[MEG33]

Take it to the religion forum..This is a day of joy and celebration for my Catholic friends. I am Protestant and am joyful for them.

[Jaded]

Alot more people than the Catholic Church failed the Jews during the Holocaust.

[onyx]

YES, let's give that some real thought.
I know my husband can manage to get us an audience,
if we make the trip while his relatives in our Church's
hierachy are still alive.

[Tax-chick]

I'm not familiar with the book you mention, but this one

is the autobiography of Father Gereon Goldman, who was an SS officer while a seminarian!

Outside view of the house in Traunstein. Germany, where German Cardinal Joeseph Ratzinger, grew up pictured April 14, 2005.

[pa mom]

While the connection bothers me, it's the fact that JPII elevated him that mitigates his past, in my mind.

[Mo1]

LOL, the Fr. they had on said, "No,I don't think it will be swinging at all."

That would be correct

Watch for all the negative press from the Libs about this Pope
