POPE TO ABDICATE

[King]

I hope the new Pope is relatively young.  Whoever the youngest cardinal is has my support.

And yes I realize that's probably like 55.

[King]

AND NOW I FIND OUT THE YOUNGEST CARDINAL IS A MALAYSIAN WHO LOOKS LIKE A MUSLIM.  YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!

BASELIOS CLEEMIS 2013!!!!

[King]

If there truly is a loving God, he will direct the Holy Spirit to whisper "Baselios" into the ears of Cardinals everywhere.

Considering that the prophecy mentions that "Peter" will be the last pope, I feel like electing this Turkson fellow is unwise.

He does make the most sense, though.  The Church is looking to win Africa over Islam and an African pope would help.

I like this.

The prophesy was clearly broken with Ratzinger's election, though.  The 267th Pope was supposed to be the glory of the olive and all accounts are that he beat Carlo Maria Martini on the final ballot.  I mean, they force some half-assed excuse as to why Benedict XVI fits into the whole olive thing, but the real choice for glory of the olive lost.

Oh vey, you all know that the Malachy prophecy is a cheap forgery, right....? even if the vague Nostradamus like phrases sometimes link up?

Yeah, but what else is there to talk about at this point?
