<======Never gonna happen superman!

Gotta agree with WarBush. They’ve got too much power.

No one is above the law. Arrest them and try them in a court of law. That Nazi Pope has had it coming for a long time.

^Maybe, but he’s head of state in his own little country – it’ll never happen. Besides, he’s so old that by the time a trial was set, he’d be dead.

More important for the R.C.s is a total cultural change. But that ain’t going to happen either – they are so top-down that meaningful change is a long way off.

We need another John XXIII. Could happen. Soon.

LoL!! The rain’s coming down from the umbrella!

I say we start a movement for the first non-catholic pope! It’s about as likely as having anyone indicted from this mess.

You guys are funnier than the comics. I love it!!

If they were never made public, how do we know about them?

This cartoon is great. Logic leading to fantasy. I’ve refrained from posting on this sad sorry issue, but I can’t pass by comic genius without praising it.

^Cause they just told us?

Hmm, just recalling all the evangelicals caught with their pants down, like Haggard. Let he who is without spin, topple off their high horse.

motive; don’t expect a new John 23 (whatever that is in roman numerals) anytime soon. The next pope will be elected by the cardinals, all approved and licensed proffessional papal butt-kissers from another century.

CF, well, no one expected John XXIII, either. He was a “caretaker” Pope, elected because there were two strong candidates and no one could get the tip, so they elected someone old, who would die, which indeed he did after four years, but having already launched the Second Vatican Council.

Once on a trip to the isle of Guernsey, just before the prop plane took off, the pilot announced he was calling in the engineers because he felt the engines weren’t quite right. After about 30 mins, he announced that the engineers had not found any issues but if we felt uncomfortable we could take the next flight in about an hour’s time. About half of the 30 people onboard got off, including me. Er, what’s this to do with dreaming? Nothing, but I daydreamed I was being interviewed relating the episode after the plane had crashed. The pilot seemed so genuine I half-hoped he would prove himself right. Sadly, his plane landed safely and I was a couple hours late. And not on the news. Bah.

^ Uri Geller? He’s a neighbour a couple villages west from me. A tie tack in his ice-cream? Why, that’s mind bending for sure, not to mention some bending of health & safety regulations in that café! Where’s this anecdote on-line?

Edit: Oh wait, it wasnºt Armstrong but Edgar Mitchell

Uri Gellar has been proven a fraud many times (and I’d have to see some impressive documentation before I could swallow the tie tac story). When it comes to people whose last names are spelled similarly, I’d rather look at Sarah Michele than Uri.

Here’s a quick solution to the problem. If the Church doesn’t want to turn over the priests, revoke their tax exempt status. Also, I wouldn’t trust a lot of this abuse stuff entirely. the SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE lie sent a lot of people off the deep end and none was ever proved. Several accused child care providers have since been cleared by lack of real evidence and an examination of the methods used to question witnesses. Kids can be subtly directed to a lie and “officials” with an agenda, Christian or otherwise, press that rather than the truth. accused isn’t convicted which is why the Church should let the trials come and the chips fall where they may.

Arrest the monsters hiding felons from the law.

For those who would like to follow the James Randi Educational Foundation: www.randi.org churchill and I are on the same side on THIS one…Uri Geller is a complete fake and fraud, and some of the people who have assisted him have spoken up. And other magicians can do his spoon-bending better than he can. Go to a professional magician’s store if you are in a major metropolitan area, and you can get the professional guides for how.

Radish, Mitchell’s opinion is really quite irrelevant here. Geller didn’t do anything any moderately competent stage magician couldn’t do. I remember an interview with James Randi in Omni magazine a long time ago, where Randi said “give me a key, I’ll show you metal bending.” The writer said “I was proud that I caught the moment when he hand dipped beneath the table - presumably to bend the key.” But a while later in the conversation, Randi suddenly said, “take out your key chain.” Every key on it was bent.
