Likely all that dope he smoked. Remember kids, it might make people like you but stick to toiletry visits to the forest.

I appreciate this is reflective of teenage world knowledge, but no offence, doesn’t this type of knowledge start at home, even in an atheist household? It’s unfathomable to me that a child could reach 16 and not know, if not his name, then at the very least the role of the Pope.
Is RE still on the national curriculum?

Man made or not, Muslims are not pressured in the same way Christians are to liberalise by the left wing. Protestantism is very diverse, from right wing nutters to left wing nutters. Rome tries to keep to what they view the religion is all though there is room to liberalise in the future in their dogma. As we have seen with this Pope (who for Rome standards) and I say Rome standards, was a liberal. He was so much of a liberal by Rome standards traditional Catholics did not like him.

I don’t want to derail the RIP thread so this is a debate for another time.

Pope Francis spoke out in many ways to reform the RC position on many things and although nothing changed doctrinally, was a much loved Pope of integrity and passion - I think he engendered a lot of respect from Catholics and non-Catholics worldwide.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a swing back towards a much more conservative, anti-liberal Pontiff.

May I be the first lefty to demand that we should have women Imams.
There is a massive groundswell among Muslim women for equality and access to all aspects of Islamic life.
Join me today in solidarity with Muslim women by petitioning the Chief Imam to change this antiquated dogma.
We on the left need to stand shoulder to shoulder with millions of oppressed Muslim women who

Stone him! Stone him!
It is time to pressure Muslims.
I feel totally and utterly excluded from Islam by the conservative attitude to the things I hold dear.
As a dedicated left winger I insist we stand up to reactionary Islamic perspectives at every possible

Stone him some more ....

I'm thinking of applying. At 69 I'm way too young, and may be subject to age discrimination. However, I think it's a great gig. Getting paid to wear outrageous hats in public. What's there not to like ?!!
I think they need to take a leaf out of Uncle Tony's book and go young. Like a Doogie Howser pope.

Will they appoint a permanent successor now, or go for an interim Pope until the end of the season?
The process.

Trust the process.
