papal mug
Image posted of behalf of L.M. What's that slogan?

UPDATE: L.M. says, "Putting the smackdown on heresy since 1981."

According to many news sources, Joseph Cardinal C, is considered a front runner in the upcoming papal elections. As you know, customary humility does not allow Cardinals to express any desire for this office or to openly promote their papal ambitions. Fortunately this particular Cardinal has a fan site: www.ratzingerfanclub.com and I think his web advocate does well in describing many of the reasons for his appeal.

Please note that the site does clarify the distinction between being a member of the Hitler Youth and actually joining the Nazi party.

Below is an excerpt from the new oath of secrecy, that the College of Cardinals now have to take before voting. It's from the vatican web site:

"Ego (positum appello) promitto qui, nisi acquiro precipuus licentio de novus electus pontiff, ego volo servo universitas perpetuus specialis per omnis externus ut Collegium Cardinalis electors inter omnis materia finitimus finitumus suffragium enim adopto per Pontifex Supremus.

Ego etiam promitto tempero usura ullus audioay vel ideovay apparatus idoneus perscribo quis secundum umquam per lectio ex Vatican civitas, pariter precipue quicquid finitimus finitumus lectio. Ego denuncio quod ego ingero iuro copiose infractio mos creo mihi infractio poena ideo posterus Pontifex Supremus mos censura, canonicus 1399 iussu principatus instituta apostolica."

...actually, it was posted in English, but I thought that Sally would prefer to see it in Latin. Unfortunately there wasn't a Latin translation for audio or video equipment so I had to use pig-Latin for those words. I was also a little unclear over whether I should write Pontifex Supremus, or directly translate to Supremus Pontifex. In the end, I chose to err on the side of pretension.

(there also wasn't a phrase translator on-line, so I did it word by word, I killed a lot of time and I was rewarded with a feeling of pomposity and smugness that I have never achieved with computer gaming)

You'll also notice that nothing is mentioned specifically about textus essagingmay from within the enclave, but most theologians will agree that this document (from 1996) would probably cover future developments in communication technologies.

Sally has anointed me as a papal election pundit, mostly because I am an educational product of the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate. (making me a compliant and contented hen, of inoffensive and modest intelligence, blissfully resigned to my subservient status). Please do not respond to any of my postings with scriptural quotes, Catholics do not read the bible, so I won't know what the fuck you are talking about.

There has been some speculative discussion on this blog about the sun's reasons for wearing protective eyewear. This has been going on for years, and, as I hope to illustrate with this small grid, is pretty well consistent behariour. My theory is that the sun started wearing shades in the 80s in order to show that he was a fun lovin' party dude, and has continued wearing them in order to better blend in with vacationers shopping on holiday websites. Of course the shades also subtly remind us of the sun's killer-ray-emitting powers, ensuring that we don't stop shopping for sunscreen product and UV protective eyewear of our own.
