Like fire / Hellfire / This fire in my skin / This burning / Desire / Is turning me to sin *NM* Roland00 Send a noteboard - 13/12/2017 09:21:16 PM

If he remained alive after being deposed he would find some way to become a cause célèbre of the extreme Left. He could set himself up as an unofficial Pope of the dispossessed and actually openly preach Liberation Theology to the detriment of the Church. He could spread his alternate version of the Lord's Prayer like some modern-day Martin Luther, bringing further divisions to Christendom. He would become "that scandalous former Pope".

If he's burned, on the other hand, he would scream for a few moments for the edification of the Faithful, then be scattered to the winds in a final mockery of his position on climate change.

Oh, I'm having too much fun with this now...

Pope Francis must be declared a heretic and burned. Tom - 09/12/2017 03:14:16 AM 1534 Views
Oooh, theodicy. Legolas - 09/12/2017 03:28:21 AM 686 Views
Well, God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" a couple of times. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/12/2017 09:22:05 AM 355 Views
That’s a much better song too *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:05:04 PM 435 Views
That was just so he could murder all their sons and prove he is awesome. random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:24:16 PM 656 Views
Never heard that one. The Trainspotting song “Temptation” is much better (Crowded House sucks) *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:02:37 PM 396 Views
Auto-da-fé, what's an auto-da-fé? It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway! *NM* Roland00 - 09/12/2017 03:55:47 AM 418 Views
Revelation 22:18, 19 damookster - 09/12/2017 07:02:55 PM 590 Views
Does it have to be fire? I do not like the smell of burnt human flesh. Is it okay with the council Roland00 - 09/12/2017 11:55:31 PM 542 Views
Only fire can purify the stain of heresy. *NM* damookster - 10/12/2017 01:21:58 AM 447 Views
We have to burn you for blasphemy by comparing Francis to Christ Tom - 10/12/2017 02:04:04 PM 576 Views
I just find this deeply ironic that is all *NM* Roland00 - 10/12/2017 08:35:26 PM 379 Views
I'll search for an Italian transcript later, but... Larry - 10/12/2017 03:10:06 PM 782 Views
It's not subjunctive per se. It's a negative imperative, damnit. Tom - 11/12/2017 02:11:53 AM 600 Views
I hadn't seen this post before I posted... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 04:46:07 AM 559 Views
It's been 23 years since my last Latin class Larry - 11/12/2017 04:48:54 AM 726 Views
My mother and a family friend priest drove by today... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 04:38:49 AM 594 Views
It's because it's *not* a translation issue, and Francis is deceiving the faithful. Tom - 11/12/2017 05:46:27 AM 557 Views
And what the fuck is wrong with this website? I didn't indent numbers and I used 1, 2, 3, 4 Tom - 11/12/2017 05:47:42 AM 689 Views
Incidentally, the numbers showed up accurately in my response while quoting, so who knows? *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:12:44 AM 410 Views
For the record, I'm not saying you're wrong... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:11:59 AM 586 Views
You know, now that I think about it, Job isn't a good reference. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:21:13 AM 705 Views
Tom is correct, but let me make the argument that the Pope is right Roland00 - 11/12/2017 08:49:35 PM 895 Views
If it is not a translation problem (and it isn't), then the Pope is changing the words of Christ Tom - 12/12/2017 03:43:50 PM 575 Views
I've read that "heresy" comes from words meaning 'to cut' or else to 'seize or take away' Cannoli - 12/12/2017 03:56:19 PM 622 Views
Re: If it is not a translation problem (and it isn't), then the Pope is changing the words of Christ TyrReborn - 12/12/2017 06:24:58 PM 603 Views
The vicar of Christ doesn't get to change the words of Christ. damookster - 11/12/2017 08:12:22 AM 675 Views
Fair enough. *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 05:44:46 PM 352 Views
but he is infallible ???? random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:22:02 PM 594 Views
The Pope is only infallible in certain situations. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 10:40:28 PM 599 Views
Link not working for you? *NM* random thoughts - 12/12/2017 12:44:23 AM 393 Views
Yes, and thankfully he wasn't making a proclamation ex cathedra. Tom - 12/12/2017 01:09:25 AM 599 Views
I mean...I love me some theology... Jeordam - 11/12/2017 10:56:34 PM 665 Views
The problem is that I don't think he was thinking at all Tom - 13/12/2017 06:22:14 PM 537 Views
No arguments here Cannoli - 12/12/2017 03:51:59 PM 618 Views
Well, I needed to at least mention the Orthodoxy-Catholicism split Tom - 12/12/2017 05:01:54 PM 669 Views
Can't you just depose him. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 05:49:59 PM 559 Views
I could, but where's the fun in that? Tom - 13/12/2017 06:20:18 PM 653 Views
Because he would have to live with being deposed. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 07:05:35 PM 567 Views
As Stalin said, Нет человека, нет проблемы Tom - 13/12/2017 09:06:44 PM 586 Views
Like fire / Hellfire / This fire in my skin / This burning / Desire / Is turning me to sin *NM* Roland00 - 13/12/2017 09:21:16 PM 443 Views
How about we just send him to Avignon. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 11:31:25 PM 616 Views
If we send him in a soundproof box so all he can do is waive endlessly, sure! Tom - 14/12/2017 12:32:04 AM 627 Views
Schrodinger's Pope(s)? *NM* Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:01:35 PM 333 Views
That would be fun. No one would know if he's alive or dead. *NM* Tom - 16/12/2017 03:50:13 AM 328 Views
Waive endlessly? Larry - 18/12/2017 03:06:39 AM 740 Views
It's the consequence of writing this in between contract revisions Tom - 18/12/2017 02:52:15 PM 786 Views
I've had that happen before, minus the contract legalese Larry - 20/12/2017 03:43:50 AM 601 Views
music to burn heretics by... damookster - 13/12/2017 10:44:51 PM 713 Views
That is truly obscure Tom - 14/12/2017 12:39:43 AM 571 Views

Sounds like your father was a wise man *NM* random thoughts - 14/12/2017 12:54:20 PM 361 Views
And he's still going nearly 50 years later... Simon - 16/12/2017 02:32:41 PM 1259 Views
That’s amazing. He’s still crazy. *NM* damookster - 16/12/2017 03:31:36 PM 323 Views
Agreed. *NM* Simon - 01/01/2018 01:59:14 PM 892 Views
