The pope is really old. Isn't it time he retired or something? I mean, the dude can't lift his head. Catholics, when are we going to see a new pope? Curious.

Can God create a pope with head so big that he can't lift it?

How old is the Pope, anyway? Isn't he like in his 90's? Can he really do his job if he's getting senile?

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :

Well, my question is, what happens if the pope chooses not to step down? I mean, you could have the pope lingering around on life support for years....

We've seen 'em come, we'll see 'em go. What else is new?

Um, I mean your question shows true insight into the problem....

Apparently he can still issue advice to fight the AIDS epidemic. Or the condom use epidemic.
