#1 I hope the next pope comes from Africa; their clergy are hard core.

#2 Gee, now which side do you suppose was going to kill the Cardinal?

Oh! Oh! I know! Is it the same cult that has threatened to kill the Pope?

#3 Robert, have you ever noticed that Christianity seems to grow better in places where it isn't watered down and wishy-washy. When Christian churches try to tone down the message to make it more PC, fewer people attend church. Maybe I've swapped the cause and effect.

#4 I've got a gut feeling the next Bishop of Rome is either gonna come from Sub Saharan Africa or Latin America. JPII IMHO is the one that put the nail in the coffin of the USSR at least as far as Europe is concerned. He is the one that gave the Poles the courage to stand up to Moscow. Lech Welensa followed his lead and the rest of Eastern Europe followed lech and Solidarity. If we have an African or Hispanic pope it will be a major factor in the next twenty years of world politics providing he is not too old at the time of his election.

#5 Well, I'm a lapsed Catholic turned agnostic, so I'm not the best person to ask. But, in general, I think if people are going to profess to a religion, they should practice it.

One thing that's come clear over the last couple of years -- Allah is not the same god as Yahweh and God. The sooner Christians and Jews realize that, and the sooner everyone else realizes what the Muslims are trying to do, the sooner we can end this war.

#6 RC - from a semi-lapsed (read lazy) Catholic - the un-PC is welcome...they aren't the same, or when was Mohammad last referred to as the "Prince of Peace"?
