Who fears the Vatican is going to run this country? :lamo
Rhetorical response.
Maybe you were not alive when JFK ran for the presidency.

And maybe half a century ago was...well, over 50 years ago.
Good. Hope you are too.

Ooo... Thats a long time ago... isn't it?
Bonzai ! You must be pretty excited, huh.
New Pope and all .....And why would you say that ?.................
New Pope and all .....
Change is a sign of weakness.
How quickly the Right forgets and wishes forgotten it's history...................
Yes. Let's see, 2013-1961=52. Yep, over 50 years ago.
When I think of religious leaders of any of the monotheistic religions I think 2 words "Black robe"...................................
Wasnt that a movie?
Yeah. Like watching life on an alien planet with sex scenes......................
Being that over 17% of the world and 25% of Americans claim to be Catholic, yeah I think that we can give him a day. I know it isn't more urgent than finding out who the latest hollywood strumpet is banging, or what overpaid athletes are playing shoot'em up, or the next gizmo that's coming out to further allow for self enslavement, but we can be charitable, can't we?
Nah. It's getting way more coverage than its worth. It's a semi-important, semi-interesting event, but it's not at all worthy of all the television interruptions, special reports and other crap that's been happening because of it. Catholics make up about 17% of the world population and 50% of the Christian population. Those are significant numbers. However, the Church doesn't have a great deal of political influence in the developed world and it's losing influence even over its members in much of the world. I guess it's most important in the developing world where education is still in trouble.I'm already sick to death about all the attention the election of the next Pope is getting. It's headline news all over the internet.
You'd think there's nothing else in the world that's of any importance.
Cardinals head to conclave to elect pope for troubled Church - Yahoo! News
Why the hell is this such a HUGE news item?
Outside of Vatican City, who really cares?
Do you?
Does a pope really effect your daily life?
Do you honestly have a personal stake in who the pope is?
Does your day change at all depending on what the pope says or does?
Is this "next pope" phenomena really that big of a deal?
No, I'm serious.

It's your freedom, and your choice... Be my guest.

Because of all that, the news coverage is entirely out of proportion to the significance of the event in the world, particularly in the United States. Catholicism has very little influence here so the fact that our media has such a hard on for the Pope is stupid.
No, I agree. It's one of the few movies I've seen that I think should be required viewing for people .....................
Well, I do appreciate your consent...
