Pope Watch- news just in

[nameless]

Black smoke eminating from "Da Holy Papal Chimney";
this means that the cardinals are locked in discussion, voting is at a stalemate with no clear popetastic endeavour, back to chuffing fat doobies and quaffing the Cristal, the smoke from said cannabis/pcp/meth inhalation exiting via a chimney out into the vatican air.

too edgy spooky, cool it.

I'd be all for it, I recognize the Papal position still serves as a symbol, but as said, I doubt it very very much.

Of course the Pope still serves a very important role.

Who would we ask wears a funny hat otherwise?

I just don't understand. The whole Pope thing seems very idle-whorshippy to me. He's just a man. The church consideres the pope infallible. Christianity teaches only one person (Christ) is infallible. The vigil many are holding seems like celebrity ideology.

Am I alone on this?

No

Judaism generally views Jesus as one of a number of false messiahs who have appeared throughout history.[1] Jesus is viewed as having been the most influential, and consequently the most damaging, of all false messiahs.[2]

Judaism has never accepted any of the claimed fulfillments of prophecy that Christianity attributes to Jesus. Judaism also forbids the worship of a person as a form of idolatry, since the central belief of Judaism is the absolute unity and singularity of God.[3

Is this the "Papal position" that serves as a symbol?

 

[dyingsun]

I think that caught the gist of it, Pixel.

I liked Palpatine somewhat (I'm german , sue me), he wasn't terrible, he was Pope. John Paul was far from being a Saint either, as much as many people believe him to be. Why do I find this interesting again ?

No you are not alone in this. There are a lot of good people in the Catholic church though. It doesn't seem like celebrity ideology it IS celebrity ideology. No other religious body that I am aware of would get this much attention in the media. What does that say? Answers may vary.

When a belief system departs from its roots can it still call itself by the name? It can but it will only be in name.

just to be controversial i'm gonna say Yes to this.

The pope is the Kim Kardashian Kanye West of Catholicism and demands maxim respect.
