strikes him with a hammer (which has the papal seal on it) on the forehead
I liked this detail too. Hope the hammer is really, really small.
There must be two Popes.
I have told you, haven't I, about looking up one of the John Popes, and discovering that, not only are they all out of number order, due to miscounting, there have been two anti-Popes named John? Apparently, the phrase "duelling Popes" is quite historically accurate (the winner got to append anti- to the loser).
It says, "Dude - you've stopped the Pope!?!?!"
"Give me a ticket, go to Hell"
I love the anti-Popes. For years I used to make jokes about how we must never let an anti-Pope come into contact with a Pope, because the resulting explosion would destroy the solar system.
I wonder what his drivers license says?
Class I for Infallible. If the popemobile crashes, it is the road that is at fault.
I wonder what his drivers license says?
But doesn't someone else drive the Popemobile? So that his hands are free for waving?
Sweetie, that's the sign of the cross, not waving.
They're reading the Rosary in Italian on the Vatican steps. it's surprisingly soothing.
There is only one explanation: There must be two Popes.
Schism!!
Sorry. Actually, the reason there were two John XXIII was because the first one was a schismatic one back in the day who was really horrible and corrupt that the modern-day one decided to negate the first one's very existance and pretend he never existed.
Well, I think his real name is Pope John Paul, just as Elizabeth HP is my real name now, although I was born Elizabeth H.
Now I wonder -- I had a great aunt (or something) who was a nun, and we always called her by her family name, not her nun name. I wonder what was on her passport?
There's issues there too personal for this board.
Wait, what? You're not going to get into every detail of your family life with thousands of strangers on the internet? That's just wack, man.
