"but to revel in someone elses pain and illness is, frankly, repulsive"
According to you perhaps, but with respect, I'd like to revel at least a little.
The degree of my revelling will be proportional to the suffering caused by the organisation he represents and leads (according to my own moral values).
That is, I will revel approximately one hundred times as much as if he was Andrew Wakefield, and half as much as if he was Thabo Mbeki (other moral benchmarks are available).
(Its a tricky one, as the church is obviously responsible for more overall unnecessary death and suffering than Mbeki, but it seems unfair to apply all of the revelling for that to just one man).
"The Pope must have done something even the Church finds unacceptable. I'm guessing he's shagged an adult woman."
I don't think many 14 yr olds would understand that let alone find it funny.
I thought that was superb!
anonymouse - MemberThis. I'm out before this thread descends further into the gutter.
Your first post in the thread, so you flounced in in order to be heard flouncing out?

I think you underestimate 14 year olds.

Perhaps he read the bile being spouted and announced that he wouldn't be participating further. You probably should have thought a bit about what he did instead of hurrying to post a smartarse comment, while getting carried away with your excitement at the possible outing of a "flouncer".
My couldntgiveaflying****ometer has just registered no interest in the leader of a silly club resigning.
You lot are well funny, on every single thread people deviate from the thread topic to abuse, insult and correct one another. Can't we all just get along?

Some bloke got nailed to a tree for saying that.

Well, seeing as it's never happened in the entire history of the human race before, I'd suggest not. 😀
Still, always nice to meet an optimist. 🙂
Perhaps he is resigning so he can go play for the other side ?
(Read into that what you will !)
I agree with everything posted. You all correct and i respect and admire you all tremendously especially the flouncer
The pope says he's too ill to work, but ATOS suspect Benedict fraud.
He's not been well for ages, tbh - why do you think they carry him round in that big chair?

He's going to buy a road bike?
A bit of light reading, if anyone cares about papal resignation policy.

Yes, this has absolutely no relevance for non-Catholics at all. 🙄

If you can get this across to the BBC then I and many like me will be eternally in your debt. there was a guy in my work retired early due to ill health last year. We got him a cake. It didn't make the news, but then he never went around in a dress telling people who they could marry and not to be gay.

That is, presumably, ex-Benedict.

Who he [s]or she[/s] may be the new Pope will need to be prepared and fully trained...
"The Pope must have done something even the Church finds unacceptable. I'm guessing he's shagged an adult woman."
That is pretty funny (IMO)!

Bravo.

Yeah how dare these mere women question the right of gods representatives on earth to label them second class citizens. She obviously needs to spend some time at the magdalene sisters to sort out her errant ways.
She's just bitter because she's just a glorified rib.

Some days it seems like every thread on STW is about paypal problems.
are people who have free thinking minds and emotions,and not brainwashed from an early age, actually intrested in which pensioner gets to tell a load of guillable people, that they cant be gay, have abortions, when they made a mistake and had sex which resulted in them having a kid,when they didnt want one, that they should give money every sunday in a huge building that isnt used during the week, to a chap in a dress who only works on a sunday,to subsidise the payments to abused children, and an organisation that fails to do anything about its preists who have abused children from a position of authority.
They could elect Worzel Gummidge as pope, for all that most people care.

Winner.

My apologies in that case - I have to admit that comment wasn't based on the article particularly, but when I saw the name of the author I inwardly groaned - only remember coming across her once before on some radio programme where she was doing a full-on hardcore impression of being a militant feminist.
Give the guy a break....he's getting on and I reckon he just wants to spend time at home playing with his kids.
That last post is begging for a FTFY, but I ain't doing it
😉
Maybe he's just giving up Popeing for Lent?
the 'saville' inquiry going international ?

Odds of Richard Dawkins being the next Pope - 666/1.

Maybe that's simply how you perceived her, rather than how she actually is.
For some reason Tim Minchin's 'pope song' is rattling through my head.
Not recommended if there are kids about.
Apparently there's no disputes allowed if you tick the "god's gift" box.
are people who have free thinking minds and emotions,and not brainwashed from an early age, actually intrested in which pensioner gets to tell a load of guillable people [a lot of important stuff]
Yes...for that very reason. Maybe you should think more about it!

Easy tiger, I detect sarcasm! I didn't say it was relevant, I just said that I don't care that he has resigned. I'm not daft, I do understand that the church has relevance outside of the church (unfortunately)

It's been a good thread for jokes but this one wins it.
for all that most people care.
Aren't something like 1 in every 5 people on earth Catholic ?
([edit] nowhere near 1 in 5 actually, but still 1.2 Billion ish)
That's quite a lot of people that probably care a bit.
Does Lemmy care..?
I'll care if Lemmy cares

Is Phil Collins the pope?
Of all the improbable things in the Bible, I find it hard to believe that the pope is a drummer.

Careful what you profess to be fact 😉
LOL JOKES
Pat Mcquaid would make a good pope as he has years of experience of leading an organisation thats primary objective is to maintain power, wealth and influence rather that do what is morally right.
