VATICAN CITY (AP) - Got a prayer or a problem for the new pope? Now you can e-mail him.

What am I going to say?

Will you advocate the use of condoms so that millions of African lives can be saved?

Can you understand that birth control and even abortion have to be treated in a modern scientific context and not with the science of the dead sea scrolls?

That homosexuals and lesbians(sorry, women aren't human) are a part of the human race and should be welcomed into the church and given equal rights?

We live a lot longer than at the time of the bible, women are no longer chattels - we need to accept divorce. (Thomas of Aquinas did - in the 13th century!)

Will you disband Opus Dei?

If the majority of Roman Catholics are now young South American women, why have we got a nearly octogenarian, male, European Pope?

When will we see women allowed to become priests?

Imp, how do I put all that in a mail?

What Sam said!

 

[rgraham666]

Can't do that.

If the Inquisition finds out where I am, I'm in a lot of trouble.

Dear Holiness,

My friend Abs is mad because she wanted to be Pope. Can you pray for her? She has some good ideas, maybe when she isn't so surly the two of you can meet for cappucinos. She has a bar but she's not a whore.

Your friend,
Samandiriel the angel.

Love you and thanks. Wish I could give you a kiss - I need some backup.

No! Whores are higher than women - we're beasts of the field.

I take Paypal.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

I take Paypal.

Yeah, but so do the nasty guys!

 

[Samandiriel]

Since I'm neither...you can send cash until that attitude changes

Do you think the Pope would use smilies? I can't go thru a whole IM session without using a few myself.

He uses blessed ones of saints and angels.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

SJ, that's why you and me will never be Popes.

We believe in smilies!!!

I suspect there are many more reasons than that.

Your AV, for starters.

 

[SnoopDog]

Well, whatever it is that you want to say to the Pope, i'll offer to translate it.

Do you think the Pope would use smilies? . . .

If he does, I imagine that I should expect to see this one fairly soon http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/wetter/sterben230.gif

Yep, I thought that, too. My next thoughts were... penis enhancements and viagra.

In which case he can call down the Wrath of God on them, and we'll be free of the spammers.

 

[Honey123]

Now if he can do that, he has my vote to become a saint when he dies....which I am assuming the College of Cardinals is hoping is fairly soon...

Amen!

No! Whores are higher than women - we're beasts of the field.

No, no, no! Women are to be revered and adored, and even treated worshipfully in some cases. They are the backbone of the good family tand thus of the church.

They are just not capable of rational thought or true spirituality. Their emotions and that yucky bleeding thing get in the way....

well, time to go transfer another priest. stupid alter boys need to learn to dress in a less provocative manner so that their betters will not have to deal with this whole "temptation" thing, let alone the will power issue...
