    Call me cynical, by all means, but, what with his Holiness being God's head-honcho on Earth 'n' all that and, presumably, one of the world's biggest believers in the Supreme Being, why does he need all those security guards and armoured glass? I mean, either God's gonna protect him or decide to recall him from this mortal plane, as is his perogative - either way, the Pope could see that as his destiny fulfilled...

    Just a thought, like...

    How does a member of Hitler Youth get to be the Pope. Probably threatened to kill all those who didn't vote for him.

    because the Catholic and christian faiths are founded on myths and they have appointed themselves as 'Gods' spokespeople on earth. we couold all do that, its just, how many would believe us? The Catholic church being the richest organisation in the world, you would have thought they could help, as the press siad, the McCanns went to see a psychic after the pope, has either helped?????????????

    Lucifer is always trying to tyhrow a spanner in the good works of God.

    Oh and you're cynical. But thats not a bad thing.

    RE: Because

    But if Lucifer is always trying to throw a spanner in the works then surely a good, trustworthy mechanic for the Popemobile is going to be more useful than armour plated glass and big, burly dudes in black suits?

    I might e-mail him and ask or maybe go straight to the horse's mouth and e-mail God...

    I spent all these years praying for intervention and now you tell me that a Jim Carrey movie says I got it all wrong.

    Dunno - wonder why they had to strike a deal with the Nazi's during WWII and why they protect so many of their own kiddy fiddling clergy?

    Bunch of authoritarian control freaks.

    RE: Damn damn damn damn

    I don't think it'd do anyone any harm to live their life according to the guidance of Jim Carrey's movies.</p>

    I've tried living like John Belushi's character in 'Animal House' up to just, and on the whole it's been an enjoyable experience.</p>

    We know what sort of movies you try and live your life around, boyo...

    Doesn't bear thinking about what you do to those poor old circus rejects...
