Also, there's a priest actively calling for el papa's resignation. Of course, if I remember my history correctly the last time that happened was in 14 something or other when the papacy was moved to Avignon and there were 2 popes. I'm not holding my breath or anything. Also interesting to note that the Vatican gardens grow all kinds of things. Things like hemlock, nightshade, and foxglove. Also there is a precedent for the Church taking matters into their own hands. I believe that almost all of the early popes were "martyred." If there's a real danger of information coming out that Benedict XVI knew signifigantly more than he has been saying I wouldn't be overly surprised if Josef Cardinal Ratzinger had a sudden heart attack and then Habemus Papem! And a third Vatican Council comes quickly thereafter. Maybe we'll luck up and get a Jesuit this time around, but I doubt that too.
Listen carefully to me old devil, I'm only interested in two things. See if you can guess what they are. |
