BEDROCK Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio is elected Pope. With the puff of white smoke emerging earlier from the Sistine Chapel, I wonder if he knows Diego Maradona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 76 years old? A mere kid by Vatican standards. I dont expect to see much change since he's reported to be very conservative. He's also reported to be very much involved with the poor in Argentina but will he worlk towards legalising contraceptives or any other form of birth control? Not a chance Will priests be allowed to marry? Not a chance Will he pursue investigations into paedophile priests? Not a chance Will women play a much more active role in the Catholic church? Not a chance What a bloody waste of time it all was. Deja vu all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scozzie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, here's a funny thing- The last non European Pope was from Syria. Gregory III was Pontif in 731AD. Among other things, he banned the eating of horse meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairyloon Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Gay marriage is a "machination of the Father of Lies." Adoption by gay people is discrimination against children. Words of wisdom from the new Pope who distanced himself from the liberation theology movement (the priests and nuns who actively opposed dictators and took risks for social justice). Cristina kirchner, President of Argentina, said the Catholic Church under his leadership in the country was reminiscent of "medieval times and the inquisition." https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsFoundation?ref=stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
