Berlusconi as Pope might give new meaning to "the laying on of hands"

I feel sorry for the pope and all old Catholic priests. Imagine having a wasted life to look back on and no sex -- Richard Dawkins

Does Berlusconi know what he's letting himself in for? I'm sure he'll the imagine that it's just a cult full of kiddy fiddlers.

everything that happens in Italy people are posting hundreds if not thousands of funny photos about Berlusconi. Everything he says now is not taken seriously anymore. I think that this time we can get rid of this despicable man and all thanks to the social networks!!!
Thank you social networks!!!

I normally agree with Dawkins but I make exception here. The Catholic Church overseas the biggest paedophile network in the world so I just don't buy in the idea of no sex for priests. And it’s not just catholic but any religion full stop.

If Betfair open a market on next pope would it be an outright market, or first past the pope?

Got the wrong 30 shot, was expecting a younger pope tbh.

Francis I ( francesco). .. It's the 1st pope called Francis ( francesco). It's the 1st South American Pope and the first pope from Franciscan culture .. what serving to the Vatican in time so delicate and full of scandals ..
I have just heard him speaking in front on millions and has a very nice sense of humor...
He was elected before Ratzinger but he refused. Not this time..
