The Hidden One Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I think he's a great pope and will do good for this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I think one of the reasons he was elected was to be a...what was the term for it...ahh yes, 'transitional' Pope. He's 78 or 79 years old, and I think thats what they wanted: Someone who's not going to last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 In that truth link, That part about him joining the Hitler youth wasn't completely true. He was forced to join, then he ran away and joined the semenary, and then they tried to get him to join again and he deserted again i believe. Though he is still not who I would have voted for if I could vote for pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B] I'm an Atheist, but I think I know why: Old popes are popes with lots of experience behind them. Second reason: You have to be a cardinal to become a canidate for being And it takes a while to become a cardinal! If you think about it, the popes aren't very old. Anybody above the age of 80 can't be pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
