**Can a Poe be impeached?**
A Pope is selected through a discernment process in the College of Cardinals. (Usually from among their own ranks, but not always.) Monks and priests have been selected as Popes.
A Pope serves his entire lifetime.
Do you remember anything about the death of John Paul II and the selection of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pope?

Are you really going to compare an assassin with a single target, to all the terror attacks Israel has had to endure for decades?

I’m just sayin’...there are terror threats against the Vatican. It’s one of the Islamists’ dream targets.

But it barely any comparison to the living hell the Palestinian death-culters have made for the Israelis.

The Muslims are slowly expelling the Christians from Bethlehem and the Pope is playing lets invent a reality.
I understand that this is very Jesus like and all, but I live in the real world where the Romans were pagan occupiers ethnically cleansing Jews and the Muslims wish to kill us.

Umm, no. It wasn’t Photoshopped.
The photograph is from the Pope’s visit to Jordan, about 3 or 4 days ago. You could probably find the video report of the same, if you looked for it.

I know Photoshop pretty well, use it for my livelihood, and that image is not manipulated.
It's Pope Benedict wearing a keffiyeh. At least he didn't wear it as a headdress like Yassir Arafat.
To: Pyro7480
The scarf was given to Papa as a gift during his welcoming reception by the Kingdom of Jordan. It symbolizes Arabic culture and would be similar to an American giving him a baseball cap when he came to America. Timothy McVeigh wore a baseball cap and therefore some would be pleased to insinuate that those who wear such might be a terrorist.
If the Israeli gifted him with a star of David or menorah, some would use the photo to imply that he might be a crypto Jew.

Ah ok. I thought someone was lame enough to substitute the Pope’s stole for the scarf.

You can identify most Photoshopped pictures, simply by tilting your laptop’s screen or any LCD monitor, whereby the aberrations will be visible wherever edits have been made.
