Re: New Pope Elected
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany has been elected. I was hoping the Nigerian Cardinal would miracously get the position. Oh well.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany is the new pope and takes the name Benedict XVI.
For more than two decades as prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Joseph Ratzinger was among Pope John Paul’s key supporters in the effort to shore up faith around the world.
The German was widely discussed as a possible successor to John Paul. Observers say given his age of 78, Ratzinger might be considered a “transition” pope to follow John Paul’s 26-year papacy.
In his role as the guardian of church doctrine, Ratzinger silenced dissident theologians and repeated Church teachings.
He draws support from conservatives who favor continuing John Paul’s policies of barrign women priests, abortion, euthanasia and contraception.
Ratzinger became a cardinal in 1977.
Re: New Pope Elected
Benedict seems happy
Re: New Pope Elected
Ultra-ultra conservative, this ought to be interesting.
Since he is 78, his reign probably won't be very long. I just hope he is as humanity focused as Pope John Paul II was.

Re: New Pope Elected
lolz i didn't know that hitler is a forbidden word. Thats just plain stupid.
Re: New Pope Elected
it's more than stupid
will the mod hiding behind the stars that couldn't even spell hitler censored please come out
Re: New Pope Elected
He was a POW during WWII during Hitler's run, kinda in bad taste to compare the two
Perhaps you didn't know better, fascism and conservatism can get confused by some people
Re: New Pope Elected
he might have learnt a few things in prison don't you think? maybe hitler put him in jail because they were too much alike?
Re: New Pope Elected
Would have been much better had khatmal ran for the papacy. We would have had Khatmal I from GS.
Re: New Pope Elected
I agree
well we can always wait for pope hitler to die and then I can become Pope Khatmal I of GS... just picture it people
Re: New Pope Elected
and faisal the mod edited it because I clearly wrote hitler and now it's 5 stars... how rude
Re: New Pope Elected
:rotato:
Re: New Pope Elected
I edited 'Hitler' next to Pope. It sounded instigative and minah_pa confirmed my fears. If you still got a problem, then come see me in the chambers.
