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.

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.

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.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

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.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

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

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. :P

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.

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.
