None of which were remotely "black"; we went over this several pages ago.

[Athartha]

Superstion USED to be heresy. Believing in Witch power USED to be heresy. 1450-ish Malleus Malleficarum decreed INFALLIBLY that believing in Witch power was necessary for Salvation.

Cthulics are gay pussies. If they truly disbelieved in St. Malachy's prophecies, they would give the finger and elect Petrus Romanus. They are too scared to elect Petrus.

Archregimancy, you ask if I am joking or serious, you ask if I am secular or islamic. I want the prophecy. I want the Papacy to end. Even though I am mostly secular and rarely believe prophecy, it would weaken the enemy because they believe it.

Lets look at the prophecy as if it were real. The final portion starts with: "In perſecutione extrema S.R.E. ſedebit." (In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit.) - it is incomplete and suggests there may be popes between gloria olivæ (Benedict XVI) and Petrus Romanus.

However, the prophecy cannot be real, the list is forgery and manipulated postdiction. The Prophecy of the Popes (Prophetia Sancte Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus) predicts the apocalypse and no human nor angelic being can know the time of this (Parable of the Ten Virgins). Saint Malachy died some 400 years before his supposed prophecy ever surfaced.

[Oneracon]

A black pope who is plenty bigoted in other ways.

Duh. Still impressive.

I'd rather celebrate a Pope's commitment to human rights over their skin pigmentation

And there are no Cardinals Named PETRUS...........

[Corporations and Companies]

Today Cardinal Peter Turkson (Ghana) has regained a little bit of the steam that he lost yesterday.

Archbishop Angelo Scola (Italy) has dropped back just slightly but Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone (Italy) made another little gain.

No change with fourth place Cardinal Marc Ouellet (Canada) and Cardinal Peter Erdo (Hungary) has dropped from fifth to eighth place.

The big surprise this morning is the jump up in Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco (Italy) who has moved into sixth along with Cardinal Leonardo Sandri (Argentina) taking a big jump into seventh.

No change in the name race this morning.

But in the origin race Africa has moved up significantly as has South America, who went from double digits to 3-1 odds overnight. Italy is strong in first but has slipped a bit.

I've been trawling Paddy Power every morning.

I know it only reflects public sentiment and not the private feelings of the Cardinals.

But it will be interesting to see how closely public sentiment follows the final decision.

The Catholic Church has always been multi-cultural in compare to some other churches, like the protestant for example.

It's funny because of the Reconquista. Well it's not, it was a horrible tragedy, but you get the point.

I really hope they do elect a black pope, even if he is bigoted, just to see the looks on the faces of any racist cardinals.

I dare say the main point of the Reconquista was the fact that the people being conquered were Muslims, not that they were (or at least were run by - probably most ordinary al-Andalus residents were Romance-speaking Mozarabs) Maghrebi.

but there was one named stan "the man" Musial

[Galborg]

A pope committed to Human Rights?
And Arch reg was asking if I was joking.

Pope's job is to persecute women and children and gays etc etc etc and Jews and Trade Unionists and Socialists etc etc and Scientists and Brits and Russians and Ethiopians etc.

No. When Pope Joan forbade persecuting the Jews, she was declared NOT a Pope.

[Tsaraine]

And here I thought that Pope Joan was declared a non-pope for a) never existing and b) being a woman, not to mention c) having sexual relations - and becoming pregnant - while in holy office.

Oh pshah, like those things have ever gotten in the way of Pope-ing before.

Of course you thought that. Male Popes told government to put fluoride in the water to make you believe.

Wrong country, dude. Christchurch is famed for its pure artesian water, filtered through miles and miles of gravel over decades after falling as rain in the Southern Alps. Except for a few months after the earthquakes, we've never had fluoride in our water.

And the Anglican, Baptist, and Catholic cathedrals were about equally munted in the quakes. I think the mosque was entirely unscathed though. I'm not sure about the Orthodox, but then the only Orthodox church I've seen in Christchurch is teensy.

Yes, that's what we wanted you to think.

Benedict after he resignes will stay in Vatican City. Is the Vatican too small a city for two popes?

"This microstate ain't big enough for the both of us, Padre."

Shootouts in the Sistine Chapel! Pistols at Lauds!

St Peter's Square, high noon, Benedict and new pope fight with Light-Croziers.

Crozier = Bishop's staff of Office = shepherd's crook + gold + jewels.

If you kill me Darth Petrus, I shall arise mightier than you can possibly imagine.

If you kill me Darth Benedict, I shall arise mightier than you can possibly imagine.

[Scholencia]

The reconquista happened because the opponents were muslims and not from another race. Speaking about the reconquista, it should happenen on the Balkan because the region would not be a shithole today.

If you look in history the CC never had problems with racism in compare to protestantism. You have racism in the US while in Latin America the Church encourage interracial marriages. Thoose cardinals would also nit let black persons to be in the Curia if they were really racist.
