His ring should be destroyed in the fires of Orodruin (Mt. Doom)!

I would not alter my appearance, but, I would wear dress pants and a conservative tee with flat dress shoes. I would wear makeup and some conservative and discreet jewelry.

I would steal it and declare myself the new pope.

With the catholic masses at my beckoning, the world would be mine! Mwhahahahaha

I grew up in a small town with a Basilica. We were taught that it was a specially designated church for the pope to attend mass were he ever in the area. The one time I recall a pope in the area...he didn't step foot in our very special church. He can kiss his own ring for all I care.

That gives him, his office and his ring far too much credit.


Sauron has the majesty of real power above others in him, the pope has no power but only play with the dismal weakness and undiscerning, gullible greed of his fellow men.

I have as much religious authority as the pope, I just haven't convinced as many people.
