so the pope is dead
What were all those prayers and masses for; he died. We all will, probably looked after less. At 84 he had a good innings and in any other organization he would not have been the leader for the last 5 plus years.
Apart from being a nice old bloke, did he do God's church any good. He was an arch conservative, and took the RC church backwards. And therefore did he take all of Christianity backwards.
Now they will pray for his soul. the RCs, to me when someone is dead its too late. I pray for the living.
Now we will se the wealth and glory of the Vatican, and we will see the cardinals all dressed up and glorious. They will all fly in and stay there for weeks.
Why can't they keep in touch by e-mail and elect the next pope by video conferencing. It would save a fortune. The funeral will be on tv, why do the cardinals have to go.
Is the answer that the leaders of the church, (cardinals, the pope, the arch bishop of canterbury, the arch bishop of melbourne, paul baker, the local minister who has been in his area a long time), are all these people celebraties on some scale. And in a few cases their wives are celebraties. Or are church leader so quaint, not celebraties but curios.
