I think I'd be a good pope..and those are cool hats :)

heh. what exactly happened? he felt too old?
and heck with the hat, what about the Pope Mobile!

his butler got caught with some secret documents, after feeling responsible for the leak, he was going to step down.. but then the vatican told him he'd have to give his 1.5 million twitter followers back to the church, so he changed his mind.

Edit: Hmm, earlier today I read he had decided not to resign, but now it appears he is.. for sure.

I heard he felt he needed more time to run a proper express country.

glad his priorities are in order.

He got caught with a giant boner speaking to a Sunday school class.

Wait, nevermind. That would just get him promoted.

If you get the job.. just promise you wont touch little boys like all the other catholics!

I'm still patiently waiting for the Geico "Happy" commercial series edition of "Happier than a Catholic Priest in Boystown."

To what? Jesus?

He is divorcing the papacy

people still believe in god?

LOL

+1000 to hawkeyee

As you may recall I originally wanted to be a dictator.
I figured when you set aside the risk of beheadings, hanging, asassination it didn't sound like a bad gig,
BUT!!! This Pope gig certainly seemsounds golden to me :)
Cool hats.
The Pope Mobile as was so excellently pointed out.
Great view from that balcony!
You can go commando under those flowing robes!
You get a Big ring and lota of other blng bling!
I could speak Latin, something different.

there a lot going on here
Best get that resume rolling :)

95% of the United States, yes.

hmm, I'd be able to excommunicate myself if i was the Pope. maybe the next Pope will take the time to give me the boot.

hours after the announcement? so, was there a problem with God receiving the news, or does his lightning bolt weapon take time to charge? he might want to get his eyesight checked, unless he missed on purpose.

there's delay and god was doing other things and photographer missed 1st lightning which hit.

Was pretty funny he made his initial announcement in Latin but there was only one reporter in the bunch that understood it.
Big scoop for her:)
