New Pope

[theacoustician]

They chose a 78 year old man to be the next pope. I guess this means that he's only a rebound pope.

Why do they change their names?

It has something to do with renouncing their earthly roots and becoming the vessle of God or something like that.

We'll see if he actually does anything worthwhile in this station, maybe not much will happen because of all the changed JP2 installed while in term. Or maybe he'll manage to turn away even more Catholics from the faith.

Well isn't this pope supposed to die pretty quickly or something? And then supposedly the next pope is the anti-christ or signals the end of the world or some shit.

I saw it. On Discovery. Right after American Chopper. It MUST be true.

But he didn't shun it either.
