Wot the Pope said...

[Bjornebye]

He's only after a pay rise

He's only after a pay rise

 

Getting sacked would have been more lucrative.

 

I wonder whether he'll work out his notice.

Or be marched off the premises by the Swiss Guards and have his key confiscated.

Pope Benedict in shock resignation.

Kids or Nazis?

 

Might be packing it all in because he found Jesus?

Bumping a 6 and a half year old thread. Good work there LF, very efficient interneting.

[Johnny Cougar]

He's only after a pay rise

 

Not surprised. It must cost him a fortune in pop and crisps.

[Strontium]

Maybe he's resigning to spend more time with someone else's children.

[Rico1304]

He's going to work in children. I mean with! With children.

[Special K]

Had enough of the fame. Said in a press conference, 'I wanna live like common papal'

I think it's quite fitting due to the fact he probably resigned because of bumping a 6 and a half year old child.

[Fowlers God]

Wants a shag before he pops it!

[Anubis]

Aren't they under an obligation to die in situ?

[Rico1304]

It must be a pretty well hidden secret, as all my fellow Catholics will know part of the process of becoming a candidate for the papacy is the have team of people (Devil's Advocates) look into their past and actively look for things that could cause trouble. Nowadays, with the shadowy Vatican involved you'd have thought they'd have dug it up or removed the threat.

They obviously weren't concerned with the child sex cover up or his membership of the nazi party then.

[Fugitive]

Nazi cult leading paedophile retires due to alter boy shortages.

[Jim MM]

'ex benedict', now that is top class tagging.

 

It has been trending all morning on twitter. I doubt tlw is the origin of it.

[halewood pete]

[A Red]

Its an ecumenical matter

[Anubis]

At his age he needs more than 2 hours, and probably viagra.

[Gym Beglin]

Nazi paedophilia beast.

 

His silence says more than facts ever could.

[Gym Beglin]

"And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff."

 

Why must we 'implore' Mary? 'Beg' her, to form part of an interview panel? Surely she's all over this? Not in a maternal way though, I think that's bang out of line from Ben.

I don't like the way in which Ben also thinks that we just bypass Jesus and go straight to his mum for HR advice.
