Pope Benedict Wants Back- Would The Catholics Be OK with Two Popes?
Do you think catholics care if there are two popes, even though all the vatican rules don’t see it as kosher? The catholics would not care about that as they know that things in the vatican are named per mai (for ever) but they never mean it. Saints come and go and skirts on nuns come up and go , latin comes and goes and then comes back etc. That the faithful catholic member is finding a way to have their sins forgiven (the easier the better), be seen as religious and a follower of a church with lots of shiny things and things you can't understand. Others even think that not understanding is where god is because is very hard to understand god at all.
The catholic church meets all of those needs. Following I’ll give you a posting by The New Yorker on this issue. It takes by the announcement of the Pope who did not want to be pope after he is got his replacement, he decided oops I changed my mind. But god drives the mind, so you know what that means. adamfoxie*
VATICAN (The Borowitz Report)—Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world for the second time in twenty-four hours today by announcing his decision to come out of retirement.
“I thought I was getting too old for this,” the Pope explained via his Twitter account, “but I’ve still got plenty left in the tank.”
The Pope’s abrupt unretirement left many fans wondering if his original decision was little more than a publicity stunt, but according to one Vatican source, “The situation was a lot more complicated than people know.”
“The Vatican doesn’t make resigning your job as Pope an easy thing to do,” the source said. “In his exit interview, they told him he would have to agree not to sign with another organized religion for three years. Plus, he was going to have to give his 1.5 million Twitter followers back to the Church. The Twitter thing was the deal-breaker.”
For his part, the newly unretired Pope took to his Twitter feed to announce his return in a nonchalant way: “So it turns out I’m not infallible. #FTW.”
