I have to admit, I thought highly of them all at the time.

:acclaim:

I also had a youth group counsellor who everyone knew was a little funny. On his front porch, he shot and killed an older brother of a kid he had molested who was confronting him. Justifiable homicide.

Five years ago the CC Times did a comprehensive expos on the Diocese of Oakland. It named the names. All of them.

Blue smoke will be shot out of the cannon when Dykes picks a starting QB.

Indeed. Cannon law permits it.

The Insider Board is reporting Chris Peterson was offered

I really hope the man upstairs has a sense of humor, otherwise, I'm doomed. #PopeJokesForLent

Until the hierarchy of the Catholic Church issues a public statement of apology acknowldeging that the reason the child rape crisis grew exponentially is because of the across the board institutional response of shifting pedophile priests from parish to parish like so many peas in a shell game, I can't even bring myself to watch or read anything about these current goings on. As a Catholic, I actually find the publicity embarrassing.

Maybe the ArchBishop of Dublin can be elected pope. He has done all that you ask.

As a Catholic myself I too am ashamed of this chapter in Church history; maybe the new pope will be the turning point on having the Church get back to its basic roots of Love/charity, care for the poor and helpless and stay the heck out of partisan politics.

Maybe like a new head coach he can appoint some new assistant coaches and get his team back to the basics of blocking and tackling. Shake things up and bench all players who don't measure up.

White smoke rising. I will be reporting soon on my selection.

Yes, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin is a great man. If Rome ever excommunicates him for breaking with the ranks over the cover up, I will sign up with whatever off shoot branch of the Catholic church he ends up with. He makes me proud to be Irish and Catholic.

I know political threads get removed. Discussion of religion must be taboo as well. This entire thread needs to be banned! I know that it has already been CONDEMNED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

White smoke has appeared from the Sistine Chapel...crack cocaine or new Pope.

I'm betting on the Brazilian.

The Catholics have made their selection. Who's on the clock now?

The Vatican fax machine broke and the new Pope is having trouble sending in his LOI.

I was close. The new guy is from Argentina.

Wow. Unranked by ESPN. This guy must've really flown around ...

One star on Scout.

Says that Poping in the Vatican is his Dream Job and wants to be there for life, so not a cut and run dude like Benedict

Prince Harry has been dispatched to the Faulklands to smote the Papist Whores in the hinder parts!

I was in England when they kicked the Argentine asses in the Falklands war. Their definition of an Angentine was "an Italian who acts like a Frenchman, wishes he was English and speaks Spanish."

Yeah, but Maradona tapped that ass 4 years later in the World Cup.

England, did the same **** with Belize. Only Guatemala wasn't stupid enough to fight.
