As usual, your claims are without attribution, but if true for once, I'd
say Good!

 WC> Kinda gives one pause about the power of prayer dunnit?

J/C scripture show that Moses himself tried to beg out of the job.  Mox
nix to you, right, since your knowledge is so limited. If you got a
bible there, I could cite you where that happened.  Kinda funny,
really, as God finally lost patience with Moses' excuses.

But back to 'Wayne's world,'  would you have preferred someone be
elected Pope who was _eager_ to assume spiritual power, and to exercise
it, vice someone who displayed humility?

And just what does the Papal succession matter to an avowed Atheist as
yourself, anyway?

Looks to me that you are just (as is your habit) trying to post even
more 'negative' stuff.

Hey, here's a challenge - what is the most 'positive' post you have
entered here in the past 6 months or so?  Your posts often sound like
they were written by "Eeyore," the ever-gloomy donkey in the AA Milne
books for children.

I'm not a Catholic as Cindy (and Lee?) is/are/was, but I think it would
be _good)_ sign the current pope was reluctant to assume the job,
since being the 'spiritual head' of a billion or so Catholics is an
awesome job for _any_  man, esp an older one.

And do you, from your (afaict always negative) Wayne's World
perspective, think the new pope has commited any _blunders_ since being
installed?
