You guys can't stop talking about the pope that croaked - admit that you miss him.
But I do admit that the old Bananadick was much more fun to ridicule back in the days (of yore). And maybe that's why he retired.

...and because he was a typical clergyman, you could see the real despotic face of the Catholic Church on him. Needless to say, they did not make-up stories of him secretly feeding the poor of Rome.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
