Pope Jean Paul (George Ringo) II

[Stormbeard]

What are your opinions on the ill health of the current (but possibly not by the time you read this) Pope?

I think it's sad when old people die (or any people for that matter)

I understand it's all fresh in people's minds. So I'll say it now.

I for one, am sad to see an old man live out the end of his days, but glad to see the Roman Catholics lose their leader.

[DraoinanDuanaire]

I think he was a good Pope. Hope they don't replace him with a more-fundie fundamentalist.

[soilsigh aingeal]

I think death should be celebrated (in the right cases), he lived a long life and I assume it was worth it to him. I don't think it's sad at all. It's his time.

[Stormbeard]

Hope they don't replace him with a more-fundie fundamentalist.

The people are calling for a more liberal religious leader.

One who will say yes to homosexuals in the church (lol) and one who will be fully competant like Jean Paul in his younger days, and not the weathered old man we came to know him as.

I vote Mel Gibson for the next pope.

[Sleet]

Pope Jean-Paul? By day: Conservative Leader of the Roman Catholic Church! By night: Fabulous French fashion designer! ;)

[Stormbeard]

I don't think it's sad at all. It's his time.

Aye, but does he have a choice in the matter.

After his many chats with God (as we're led to believe) surely the topic of "Could I, y'know... NOT have parkinsons" must have came up at least once.

[Stormbeard]

Pope Jean-Paul? By day: Conservative Leader of the Roman Catholic Church! By night: Fabulous French fashion designer! ;)

And former host of 'Eurotrash'

Your number one source for Germans doing things with poo.

[melantha rose]

I liked his views on some issues. I think he is a very tough man, which is why he is still here. He did survive being shot some odd years back! I think he is a good man. I am not Catholic, so I can't offer any leadership views, but the Catholics seem to love him very much, so he must be a good leader to them. Let's just hope the next Pope is as good a man as he has been.

[Stormbeard]

He did survive being shot some odd years back!

I'm more to blame for that actually.

I hesitated...

[melantha rose]

Hey, Stormbeard. I love your banner, man!!

[Aelfoak]

Ozzy Osbourne for Pope!

[Stormbeard]

Hey, Stormbeard. I love your banner, man!!

What banner? ;)

[Aelfoak]

I will send out my Pope vibes..
Definite presenter of Eurotrash :tongueout

[melantha rose]

_whistle_ Just for the record, I'm not voting for another Pope. Just hope the next one is honest. But, I do love that banner!! _twohorns_

[Stormbeard]

I will send out my Pope vibes..

They DO those!?

I've always wanted one...

Y'know for...

... Well





... I wouldn't use it*





































*I would

[MockingbirdOxygen]

Thanks for your sadness but don't worry I am alive and kicking. If anyone needs a blessing get close to the computer monitor and I will send out my Pope vibes..
how's it hangin', popes?!! whoopsies, almost forgot the :fpraise:

[MockingbirdOxygen]

They DO those!?

I've always wanted one...

Y'know for...

... Well





... I wouldn't use it*




*I would multiple PO's here please.

[Spera]

I want pope vibes!!!....


unless they turn me Catholic..... :foh:

[DraoinanDuanaire]

The people are calling for a more liberal religious leader.

A lot of people in the first world do, but most of the church's actual membership is from the third world, and they're pretty damn conservative...

[Stormbeard]

Just for the record, I'm not voting for another Pope.

Good, you don't have a choice (unless of course you're high up in the diocese, in which case you're a heratic and I'm telling Pope on you!) because the general public, R.C or not, don't choose the next pope.

God doesn't choose him either.

I for one, am hoping for a black, gay, muslim, female pope

About time we spread a message of equality!

[MockingbirdOxygen]

*gets off the pope box*

okay, but all kidding aside now, I always think it's sad when anyone is ill or sick, so it's not like I'd be celebrating his death either...

but couldn't resist taking a poke at our newbie "pope" here on MW _handclapp

[Stormbeard]

they're pretty damn conservative...

Bloody Tories ruin everything!

[Stormbeard]

I'm doing fine don't believe the media.

It being April 1st recently

[MockingbirdOxygen]

I want pope vibes!!!....


unless they turn me Catholic..... :foh::foh:

nah, it won't turn you Cath unless you're already a cathaholic! :lol:

I'm doing fine don't believe the media. I am in good condition as we speak and just taking a vacation from all this Popeing.. it really is you! dagnabbit, and here I was getting bizzy preparing my "Kid Rock for Pope" Campaign!
:smileroll

[Spera]

So pope, got any messages for us here on MW?

[Stormbeard]

I've hung out with this Kid of Rock. He does not have what it takes to be pope. Plus is head is oddly misshapen and would not be able to don a pope hat.

Not to mention, he's retarded

Redneck popes? Oh hell no!

[Stormbeard]

So pope, got any messages for us here on MW?

Live long and prosper?

Never drink soap?

Love thy alterboy?

[soilsigh aingeal]

Aye, but does he have a choice in the matter.

After his many chats with God (as we're led to believe) surely the topic of "Could I, y'know... NOT have parkinsons" must have came up at least once.EVERYONE DIES. It's a fact of LIFE. You get old and you DIE. Why grieve over a man who has had an exceptional life? I don't see the point. I think his life should be celebrated. The fact that he may have asked God if he could finish his life w/out Parkinsons doesn't have anything to do with it.

[Stormbeard]

I think his life should be celebrated.

Oh we're celebrating alright!

[MockingbirdOxygen]

I've hung out with this Kid of Rock. He does not have what it takes to be pope. Plus is head is oddly misshapen and would not be able to don a pope hat.wow, I'm talking to somebody who's hung out with someone famous whom I worship! :hehehe:

c'mon, he'd make a good pope, and you know what they say about a misshapen head... :heybaby:

actually, I'm seriously picturing him in the pope wardrobe and it's cracking me up...they can put the pope robe on him at his shows instead of the cape...:tongueout

[Spera]

Meh- I'll put in my own words with the big guy, he likes to pick on me anyway.

Besides, I will live as best I can in life and not worry about death. If everything I do in life is just to stave of pain afterwards, then it is meaningless. I'll just see and deal with whatever comes my way.

Nice talking to ya pope-man

:fprtyman3

[MockingbirdOxygen]

EVERYONE DIES. It's a fact of LIFE. You get old and you DIE. Why grieve over a man who has had an exceptional life? I don't see the point. I think his life should be celebrated. The fact that he may have asked God if he could finish his life w/out Parkinsons doesn't have anything to do with it.
hey that's a pretty good point there. :fishsmack

[Stormbeard]

the big guy

[Spera]

:whatgives

Ask Popey- he brought the big guy up!

[soilsigh aingeal]

hey that's a pretty good point there. :fishsmack:abanana:

Nah, really, did you see what it was in reference to? No one has a choice in the matter of death. Everone dies.



Geeze, now I can't stop laughing, thanks aunt boo!

[MockingbirdOxygen]

Not to mention, he's retarded

Redneck popes? Oh hell no!:whatgives what happened to this aforementioned equality you spoke of moments ago?


:2G: dammit nobody likes kid rock but me.


oh well I like everything else musically too so I still fit in.

I DO DAMMIT, I DO!

:fpraise: me!

now!
muaah hah hah

I got people to poke mol's karma thinking it was me and say stuff like "I feel pretty you motherfrogger" :lol: that's got to count for something...best april fool's I've had yet...

[Spera]

Ooh Ohhh I feel a parable coming on!

[Darakash]

wow, I'm talking to somebody who's hung out with someone famous whom I worship! :hehehe:

c'mon, he'd make a good pope, and you know what they say about a misshapen head... :heybaby:

actually, I'm seriously picturing him in the pope wardrobe and it's cracking me up...they can put the pope robe on him at his shows instead of the cape...:tongueout

Can't you just see the new Papal theme song:
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind :rollingla

[Aelfoak]

I still think Ozzy for Pope!

[Stormbeard]

Stop with this blasphemy. Now Shaq might be the King of slam dunks but he is not the King of all Kings.

But Shaq was put there by God.

The divine right of dunk!

[Stormbeard]

I still think Ozzy for Pope!

Damnit! We told you the first time, no!

[wyrdmage]

It's ridiculous how many people believe blindly. Those that are gathering and praying for this man think he is higher than the rest of use and it sickens me. No matter what the people or even the Pope thinks, he has no more "heavenly" connection than anyone else and his condition is somewhat proof of the puddding. Besides, the most humble faithful individual that worships a god should not dress in clothes that cost thousands of dollars or wear jewelry that any one piece could feed a good sized town for quite sometime. If I were him I would be deeply ashamed of it all!

Insane! I tell you....:atantrum:

[Stormbeard]

:whatgives what happened to this aforementioned equality you spoke of moments ago?

We are all equal.

Some of us are just MORE equal than others.

[Spera]

Oh man, i think I would make a great pope, think of all the fun it's be!! All those really really silly umbrella's.... that look like circus hot dog stands.... *giggles* :woot:

[MockingbirdOxygen]

:abanana:

Nah, really, did you see what it was in reference to? No one has a choice in the matter of death. Everone dies.



Geeze, now I can't stop laughing, thanks aunt boo!okay now I'm lost...:bigredblu

he did have parkinson's disease? well the way I took it was that maybe he did ask for it to be cured, only if it was in the best interest of all...perhaps he had to go through some sort of trial like that but it helped someone else out in some other way, down the line or something...

okay shuttin' up now.


psych.

not.

Calm yourself.

The pope's strength will fail, and the Roman Catholic faith will fall.

It's simply a matter of time.

[MockingbirdOxygen]

[Stormbeard]

Oh man, i think I would make a great pope, think of all the fun it's be!! All those really really silly umbrella's.... that look like circus hot dog stands.... *giggles* :woot:

And you could ride in the batPOPEmobile

[Stormbeard]

hey ain't that a slick reference to animal farm or sumpin' ?

Show her what she's won!

[Stormbeard]

perhaps he had to go through some sort of trial

Are you suggesting the pope was a Jedi?

[Spera]

Oh man I'd be cruising right along...


:megaphone Spera for Pope everybody!


Wait.... first we gotta get rid of the incumbant... :ninja:

I think I'm starting to believe in God and Satan, and this whole Christianity thing works in the opposite way. I think they're being brainwashed into worshiping Satan. So there you have it. PJP2 was actually praying to SATAN and that's why he has Parkinson's. And that's why God didn't take it away.

There, I solved it!

[soilsigh aingeal]

Satan, stop hiding under this alias. The Pope is now challenging you to a battle to decide the faith of the world. Monday at the abondoned warehouse... be there or else!!! Also we're going to fight with only our hands. If you don't bring your pitchfork, I won't bring my holy water and Popezooka.Now what kind of talk is that from the POP?

Hey, I think Kid Rock could work as Pope! What's wrong with a redneck for pope? The poor white trash look could win over some new followers, don't ya think? Bill Clinton could work, too, now that I think about it. We'd have more peace and fun in the world, for sure, dude. _pounce_

[Spera]

Aww man... I'm not going to get voted pope... damn annoying veiws about women...

[Spera]

Do not let the robe fool you, The Pope does indeed get violent when it comes to fighting evil. Now if anyone else on this board wants to get froggy then I'll show you the secret art of Pope-Fu. Of course after you see it you'll be dead.

There, I solved it!omg you're freakin' me out because I was thinking along those lines the other day...not about the pope but that hey, if I were Satan what would I do, I would create a religion that allowed room for no other religion to be accepted, and then I would hide in the church (not literally, though that would make for a great game of hide and seek, what with all the pews and everythin') and then I would tell everyone that the devil is a great master of disguise, and of course that would be a sort of jedi mind-trick (see, there's that jedi reference again!) and so they wouldn't dream that I would be here in disguise, since I've just pointed out that the devil wears disguise...hahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa

Why thank ya ma'am! that is my absolute favorite song by him, my daughter thinks I am insane, cause when it is playing I am singing it at the top of my lungs like a fool!

OOOh, Constantine.....the name alone is perfect! Imagine...an American Idol Pope! Hmmm, Maybe Simon? Now THAT would destory the Catholic Church for you Stormbeard!

*moment of respectful silence*

[Morr]

Sorry to be the party pooper, but I think you all are acting REALLY disrespectful towards a man, whom led a religion that I know many here dont agree with, but who was indeed a remarkable man and filled his duties with a lot of devotion and care.

He means a lot fo MANY people around the world, providing them with spiritual fulfillment and inspiration. And even though some of you dont buy into the Catholic Dogma and belief, it still should be respected as well as The Pope himself.

Funny how Pagans demand tolarance and respect from others, yet many of them dont act that way towards others.

[DraoinanDuanaire]

I agree with you, Morr. People are people, though.

[MockingbirdOxygen]

Everyone would tune in just to see him tell the other religions how preposterous they were, and how he could walk into a place of worship anywhere across the world and find a sermon just as good or better!

[Spera]

I apologize for coming off respectful, I was playing with the Mystic Wick-ic "The Pope" Character, not meaning anything towards the actual Pope. I apologize for offending anyone if I had. I found the person posing as the Pope to be amusing.

see, I'm pokin' fun at her typo, but that doesn't mean that I don't respect her, it means that I choose to play most of the time because the rest of the time I am so oooo deep, no one on this board could probably even begin to touch it...it eats at me, I have so much deep emotion for people and if I stay in the serious realm, it tears my soul apart.

It isn't the matter of knowing one another.

It's the fact that the world lost one more good man when it cannot afford to lose any.

It isn't about blind faith, it isn't about religion, it isn't about death, it isn't about satire or serious.

He may be, but the tears I have in my eyes are not.

You know, I was feeling bad for a few minutes there, but the fact is that the Pope, being such a true believer in his religion is, I am sure, quite joyous with going to meet his maker, his lord and I believe that is where he is. I also think that he would not be offended by our using humor in this time, he was known to be open to humor and love of life, and I don't think our doing so was disrepectful.

If I went to the point that I offended anyone, then I am sorry, but it certainly was not my intention.

btw, if you're saying he's a good man, then you're still judging him, albeit on the positive side, and no one can say whether he was a good man or not 'cept his own creator

Well I have to go close the library now. *hugs for all*

I haven't been online lately but with all this pope talk on the news I had to get my pagan fix for the day by coming here.
(Interestingly enough, I can't even escape the pope-talk HERE!!! :))

Honestly though... I feel like this pope was too conservative. He was a good pope and he lived a very long life, but his life was so long his his followers have grown and adapted to the changes in the modern world while his ideals have grown to "old" for the direction the church needs to move in.
With the scandal going on in Mass (and elsewhere) I think there have to be changes in the church and it's personal (not religous) beliefs.
There needs to be more consequences for priests who preform acts that would be considered a crime in the "real" world. There should be certain allowances- like letting priests marry; And if there are so many religons in the world, who are they to say that everyone in the world is going to "hell" if they don't convert? How can I go to a place I dont believe in??

oh.... Don't get me started!
I could go on and on... I am a recovering cathoholic
once I start there's no stopping me.

When I was a child, I saw him in Rome... and he passed only feet from me, and for that bit of time, I knew what it was like to have someone that had endured so much pain trial in life be so alive and so strong of a person.
I am not slamming on you, you know me well enough from my posts on here to know that I hold no harm to anyone.
To live is to judge, we do it everyday. From the minute to the major.
I left seminary because I had problems with it, with my faith... but to this day, I will never forget that man's smile. Never.
No one is asking for you to apologize nor should you.
But for some of us, the pain is a little too close to home... and even the things held in the most innocent ways can harm when they are not meant to.
