Next Pope

[mart]

There's an old joke about 2 Irishmen present at an audience when the Pope drops dead. I can't repeat it for fear of the mods displeasure.

Cherie is RC and he is too. However, as the prime minister he cannot be RC officially, and as such has to masquerade as c of e.
It doesn't matter to me one iota - if he is truly religious in that sense then that makes an even bigger wanker, whatever religion.
It looks though as if this is yet another string to his phony bow...

"However, as the prime minister he cannot be RC officially"
Really, is that a constitutional rule?
You suspect his religious leanings, as do I, but I don't think he is actually a RC. There are a lot of C of E members, priests and laity, of the "smells and bells" variety but that doesn't make them RC.

eh?, he cannot be RC and prime minister?
cobblers mate, think you are confusing King and PM, I know TB would like to be both but not yet.

[mart]

He's probably been circumcized too.
Belt and bracers.

Bonio will be the next President of the Republic of Ireland..a non-political, but high profile figurehead role and traditionally not going to politicians. The next election won't be for 6.5 years, and the present President can't stand again..perfect.

Michael Jackson - SURELY.

He'd be in hog's heaven with all those altar boys.

Allegedly.

Thats a low blow but could be an MTV hit Video

The only fatherly/Priestly figure I respond too well is Bon Scott in,

As In "Let There be Rock"

A most energising sermon
