There is an article in today's paper about John Paul II.
You know, the Pope.
The article reveals that the Pope is suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, I'm no doctor, but even I can tell just from looking at him that the guy's not in the best of shape.
Yet there, he is, day after day, performing his Popely duties, all the while knowing that the stress of the job is killing him.
Why doesn't he just step down. You know. Retire. Saving souls is a young man's game. He's done his part. Why doesn't he don a pair of speedos and sit on a beach for a couple of years until his Boss arranges for a 'transfer'?
And while were at it, you know they're scouting for a replacement, and you just know they're going to pick another bloodless old man who's two weeks from death's door. Why don't they pick a younger, more energetic man? Somebody who would look good on the recruitment posters.
And when are they going to do away with celibacy in the holy orders? God created dicks and pussies. He created them for a reason. Celibacy as a lifestyle choice is perfectly acceptable. But celibacy as a rigid rule is unnatural, and only leads to pain and corruption.
One more question.
Vatican City: vacation paradise or tourist trap?
