New pope chosen

[ProtoKun7]

I seriously don't understand why this is so important. This only effects catholics.

Affects.

Good job: less than half-an-hour later and the thread is already devolving into petty idiocy and flaming.

At least no one has made any pedophile jokes.

 

[Xuphor]

Affects.

So uh..... care to at least make a link in USN saying this thread is moved? Otherwise (you know as well as I do), more people will make one, not seeing it's already made.

EDIT: Hold up, the thread I made saying he stepped down is STILL in USN, why did this one move?

Welll... gues it's time for me to talk about the new pope:

The new pope is this little dude right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Bergoglio
Aaaand... yes, he's from Argentine just like me.
You guys were expecting for an open-minded pope? Ahah... poor little fellas. This beautiful man stood against the law of same-sex marriage because "it's a war against God" and also saying that these were "plans from the Devil".
TL;DR The new pope is a homophobic asshole.

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys about another interesting fact: He was with the military dictators in Argentina in 1976 ^-^

How come they can't keep their real names? Pope George sounds kinda cool/friendly.

You are a worried citizen expressing a valid concern about an enormous religion, but inevitably would be disregarded/ignored (or possibly worse) if you were to bring your concerns to higher power in the religion.

.....I'll stop there.

ya I doubt my opinion matters;especially due to the secrecy of their "democratic" voting system where they burn the votes before they even are allowed to leave, I imagine a power struggle and less than holy means of negotiating who wins the coveted hat of truth and leads their people.

sacred battle royale anyone?

I was thinking this is standard catholicism.

Than I read this and thought "appalling cunt."
As an institution, I abhor the Vatican.

Sigh. Typical GBAtemp, being typical GBAtemp.

...none that actually got posted.

No idea; I wasn't the one who moved it.

Somehow I imagined boy George kneeling down to accept the pope hat and I lol'd.

 

[ProtoKun7]

boy George kneeling down to accept the pope hat

Something something, euphemism...

 

[mechadylan]

Something something, euphemism...

Somehow, I imagined Boy George kneeling.... Oh, dear. Back to refreshing List_of_popes wiki on my other tab for me.

So far, he's been referred to as Pope Pius XIII, Pope Francis I, Pope Francis, and Pope Catshow. lolwut?

 

[PolloDiablo]

ARGENTINAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. Effecting new Roman Catholics would probably be done more efficiently by a less reactionary leader.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

This is no longer in the USN.

My work here is done.

 

[Gahars]

Unfortunately, he'll probably continue to maintain the status quo. As they say, "Holy see, Holy do."

I don't know, maybe I'm just bitter. I sent my application in and everything, and they didn't even have the decency to call me back. Seriously, guys, what the hell?

The only question is whether or not you are surprised, and you shouldn't be.

 

[emigre]

"Holy no see, Holy no do."

The Vatican's approach to serious allegation against its clergymen.

 

[Veho]

My only question is the legitimacy of deciding the head of an entire God based religion via a popularity contest. it seems quite sinful an act to do so but who am I to judge...

Well the alternative would be just silly.
