宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Does this mean the rebels won? (You know, because the pope's face looks like emperor Palpatine? Get it? Eh? Okay, I'll shut up now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iam Isthename Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm not surprised...it's his choice though :3 : I still wonder why is he resigning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wonder if he's finally gone senile. Maybe he's too tired to bear the burden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Apparently he says he is "too weak" to do the job. Honestly, I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 The pope isn't even relevant to most Catholics, at least not US Catholics. I know, I [s]am[/s] was one. No, but seriously, this is how it breaks down: The Pope: Mostly conservative, but cool with SCIENCE US Council of Catholic Bishops: Liberal where the Pope is conservative, conservative where liberal Actual Catholics: Just liberal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Apparently, he might be developing Alzheimer's, which is plausible. Oh well, shit happens, just hope that they don't choose a total religious nutjob as the new Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 After what he said about how Homosexuality during his Christmas Speech, I gave up on the old fart. But....that alone isn't enough of a reason for him to retire. What else is going on? Or...what else did he do that I'm not recalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about the Apocalypse...what do you guys think? They're referring to the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_popes"]prophecy of the popes[/url]. Next pope will be "Peter the Roman," after which Rome will be consumed by fire and humanity will fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well I've had it with so many apocalypses not happening :/ I know that's a good thing, but damn it if someone's going to cry wolf they better be right :/ That aside, has it been confirmed who "Peter the Roman" will be? Since I've yet to see any news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 We'll only see who "Peter the Roman" is when the papal elections are held, at which point people will be scrambling to make connections between the winner and the prophecy.
