I thought Rowan Atkinson was the head of the Anglicans?

According to Michael Jackson: "It don't matter if it's Black or White"
Nobody knows if MJ is even black or white.


funny isn't it. Genetically, he's definitely a black man. Cosmetically, he WAS a white woman. Now, he's some kind of amorphic blob. He's definitely living off the wall.

Antipope is a Pope who actually goes against the teachings of the Catholic Church: There were several of them in the early centuries.

Does this then result in factionalism?

Will we be seeing Catholic "sunnis" verses Catholic "shiites"?

And what does Catholicism in Denmark have to do with Dutchmen?

OK. I confused my small European countries.

Is Ratzinger Prussian, by chance?

Nah, he's a bayerischer Kerl . . . natch. Prussians are Lutheran. Bavarians are Catholic.

BUMP and worth a repeat!

A VERY BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS AND WISHES FROM OUR NON-CATHOLIC FRIENDS.

ABC is reporting this was the 2nd fastest conclave in history. Could that be true?

John Paul II was in such poor health for so long that the Cardinals have had a lot of time to think about who the next Pope will be. Most of the politicking and horse trading was probably accomplished even before JPII died, and the Conclave was for all intents a formality.
