Catholic Problems

I will let him know--I'm sure he will try to do better! ;)

You have a direct line to the pope? I am not worthy!

[One Bad Pig]

Actually, wait a second. Which Pope John XXII are you talking about?

Er, the one which was so poor an example that there wasn't a John XXIII for several hundred years. It's possible I got the number wrong. IIRC it was during the time of the "Babylonian Captivity" when there were two or three popes at the same time.

Oh......the Anti-Pope John XXII. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the one that lived in the 20th century.

No problem.

What happens when a pope comes into contact with an anti-pope?

Do they just annihilate each other, as in cancel each other out, or is there a big explosion?

When Nicholas V confessed his sins to John XXIII, he forgave him, but still kept him in a rather plush prison until his death.

He gained his papacy through illigitimate means. That's what makes him an anti-pope.

My only complaint is that his words are easy to twist around by the mainstream news outlets to support their irreligious agendas. Don't worry though. As soon as they figure out that Pope Francis is, indeed, Catholic, they'll vilify him, just like they did all the rest.

It was a joke.

[Manw� S�limo]

More like an anti-joke.

You're an anti-joke.

Actually, more like antipasto. Never eat antipasto and pasta at the same time or your stomach will explode.

Actually, more like Taco Bell. Never eat Taco Bell or your stomach will explode.

Fixed that for you.

[robrecht]

Fixed that for you.

While what you write is indeed true, I fail to see how it illuminates the question of theoretical physics that is currently under investigation here.

It's anti-beef.

It's anti-beef.

You could say that about anything, but that does not make it true, whereas experimental science has already demonstrated the existence and properties of anti-matter, anti-popes, and anti-pesto.
