Pope Benedict XVI....the new guy is from Germany

George W. Bush Elected Pope ... Cardinals Stunned!

Reported by Monsignor Guido Sarducci

The almost 120 Cardinals from around the world that gathered to choose
a successor in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel were stunned and expressed
amazement.

Cardinal Mohoney the Vatican spokesperson had this to say...

"We in the conclave are all shocked. We cast our votes using these new
electronic voting machines. The results overwhelmingly favored George
W. Bush over all the Catholic candidates. The last Pope, John Paul,
was a superb linguist, fluently speaking 11 languages; this one can't
speak fluently in one language. We just don't know what to say."

The White House has announced that Dick Cheney will assume command as
President of the world tomorrow morning, when "W' travels to Rome to
begin his duties as Pope.

George W. Bush had this to say moments ago as he spoke from the Rose
Garden:

"I am honoured to be the spiritual lighthouse, and the first War Pope.
I promise Evangelical Catho-licks and Prostates alike that I will be
embodied in salvation and fair in the performance of my duties.

I am a Unitifier, not a Divide-a-cater. I am obliged to try to save as
many lost souls as I can, at least the Devout Wealthy Elite Souls, as
it is well known that Heaven is a very select place, indeed, it is
more exclusive than even the best of country clubs. It is a members
only heaven. I may have to put a fence around it.

I will perform miracles in a fair and balanced manner. Just as God
used to wipe out entire races of people without warning, burning whole
towns of perverts, killing off entire nations, and drowning everybody
without a ticket to board Noah's Ark, I shall deliver the world from
Evil Empires as I unleash the Apocalypse Wrath of Revelations.

I will ensure the Rapture and the Reunion with our beloved deceased
family members and with our departed purebred pets. I will not allow
those awful Liberal Sissy Homosapiens to marry each other and I will
put and end to the Clergy marrying Choirboys.

I will lead the Crusades against all them towel-headed heathens-
possessed voodoo-hoodoo barbarians who's Pseudo-religions that don't
accept the Lord as the Light of Democracy, and who worship fake,
madeup gods.

They shall suffer my Godly Conservative Wrath and I will Destroy them
with my Cherubic Armies of Angels and they shall burn for eternity in
Hell, because Me and God don't take no prisoners!"

I'm just trying to figure out why they picked this particular Pope because he's just about as old as the one who passed.:confused:

I think they picked one this old because they don't want another pope whose reign would be over 20 years.....

I was thinking the same thing, but just didn't want to say it. :cool:

When I seen him on the news, my first thought was, "So in about two more weeks I'm going to be bombarded with coverage of the Pope and Vatican again. They couldn't find nobody with at least a good five years on 'em. Shoot I missed a lot of good shows."

So much for my "viewing pleasure"

An interesting selection of photos displaying Hitler's alliance with German cardinals. I never knew that Hitler didn't separate Church from State and that there was a form of alliance and acceptance of Hitler at that time.

LOL in one of the pictures they are doing the Nazi salute. The man on the far left ,dressed in his robe, DOES NOT look interested at all. I think the camera even caught him rolling his eyes at all the hoopla.
