I knew it!!! I knew I couldn't possibly be the only one who thought he looked like someone famous.

He also bears a slight resemblance to Anthony (sorry Sir Anthony) Hopkins.

[LuvinmyEB]

Bahahahahaha!

So instead of carrying a cross around he'll be carrying a light sabre and possibly eat people?

Hang on does this mean god is actually Darth Vader???? :nutsycuck

And George Pell will get around in black with the helmet. When he's in the presence of the Pope, he'll say "Yes, my master"

From memory a 12/13 century Pope predicted that this current Pope is the third last Pope ever,there will be two more Popes,then it is the end of the world.
Apparently each successive Pope will be worse than the previous.
Given the age of this Pope we have about 30/40 years before it happens.
So might I suggest we all party like hell and go out on a high note.

Again from memory the last Popes name will be Peter the Pontificate or similar.

Only if we do nothing and let it happen,religion has a lot to answer for it has been the cause of many problems.
I look at it this way,all religions(modern) have the one God,he/she just has different names, why if this God is a caring God did he/she let their own son be murdered,why does this God allow the misery,suffering,poverty,conflict,war etc to happen.?????
Don't tell me its because we were given the ability to choose our own destiny any true God would have stepped in and said...do it this way or else.

Up here in Bris-Vegas, we used to have a Lord Mayor Jim Soorley. Lord Mayor Jim, amongst his past occupations was a Catholic Priest for 9 yrs, training for 6, or vice versa.
Heard him on the radio today, saying our new pope has always been a horrible individual.
Maybe they picked him because he's the oldest, and will slip away soon.

Who remembers Pope John Paul I?

If I recall correctly Lord Mayro Jim was an anglican priest or a uniting church one

that is so funny. good find

[Cheahman]

hahaha those pics are crack up! lol.

I think they said he was part of the hitler youth when he was younger. Btw i believe in God, but i dont believe in the catholic church, just a bunch of corrupt old pediphiles. Sorry if I offend anyone with those comments, but after all the allegations on the news and how they covered it up, that stuff just made me sick to the core. One of the worst things a human being can do.

I'm sure he's a Cattle Tick! But I've been wrong before, I've been told :

Edit:

Jim Soorley (born ?) is an Australian politician. He served as Australian Labor Party Lord Mayor of Brisbane. Soorley is a former Roman Catholic Priest and human rights advocate. Known through the media as "Lord Mayor Jim", he served from 1991 to 2003, winning four elections.

I thought it was this Pope who was the last? He predicted the names of all the last popes and we're out of names now.

Either way, he predicted the second last Pope would die outside the vatican, which didn't happen.

This new guy was in the Hilter Youth, but he was forced into it, back when Hitler knew he was losing and lost what ever part of the plot he had.

And as for John Paul 1, that was dodgy as.

I'm not religious in any sense, but I love a good story and I think we are all referring to the same thing.

Apparently, a 10th Centuray Bishop named St Malachy who was regarded as a prophet, made a list of 112 popes in the future from that time.

He gave them a simple title. In John Paul II case, De Labore Solis, which means, "of the solar eclipse."

John Paul II. The 110th is "De Labore Solis" (Of the Solar Eclipse, or From the Toil of the Sun). The corresponding pope was John Paul II (1978-2005). John Paul II was born on May 8, 1920 during an eclipse of the sun. Like the sun, he came out of the East (Poland). Like the sun, he visited countries all around the globe.

the remaining two...

The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict – not St. Malachy – has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil.

The 112th prophecy says, "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people

At this point i'll point out that many people have felt in history that because the list ends at 112, that it is the end of the world - however this is not the case.. it just means its the end of an era.

One persons theory was that the final pope, #112, Vatican city will be destroyed in 2012 and he will be captured, dying in a prison somewhere (somewhere around WW3).

I'd like to point out, again, that im in no way christian but enjoy a good story - these are not theories of my own.
