#3 Can't only imagine what the discussion between Him and GOD will be on his arrival.

Like Pope Benedict knew about priests who abused children and failed to act. Then there was Paolo Gabriele leaking detailed problem reports & doc's. Then the public discovery and Vatican doc's that acknowledged a network of high ranking Homosexual priests inside the Vatican. With too much political power.

But with all that said, I feel the current Pope, Pope Francis, will have an even "hotter" discussion on arrival.

Either way, neither comes near the sincerity and spiritual quality of Pope John Paul II.

#5 I want St. Peter to look at his clipboard and say "You were a giant asshole. But the Boss says you can come in..."

Any sites out there to prepare for St. Pete?

Methinks it'll be short.

#9 When Pope John XXIII was asked, “How many people work in the Vatican?” his response was, “About half.”
I've no inside info, but I've gotten the impression over the years that the Vatican bureaucracy has perfected the "bearing false witness" business, and that trying to figure out who did what requires more skill than Ratzinger had.
Anyhow, this evangelical wishes him well here and hereafter.

#10 St. Peter receives a lawyer at the gates and escorts him to his eternal quarters. Walking down the long hall, the lawyer notices as they pass by room after room of Popes. Each room looks like a Motel 6. Finally arriving at his destination, St Peter opens the door to the lawyer. He's stun. It looks like a Vegas VIP suite. He turns to St Peter and points out the accommodations for the Popes. St.Peter says - You got to understand, we have lots of Popes. You are our first lawyer.

#12 It is believed that Benedict, Vigano and Pell were on the trail of corruption in the Vatican Bank. I think he backed off out of fear of getting the JPI treatment. I don’t know that to be the case. I do expect to see Ratzinger in heaven if I make it. That is my goal.

#13 True German Ally, who had regularly played chess with him when he was a mere bishop, spoke highly of him. As I recall, he was meant to be a compromise candidate, but he was much more than that.
