Cant the Pope resign?

Well done Mark - you've trolled up a catholic kook in Joseph 1944 and a protestant bigot in Cybershy.

you forgot to mention the master troll in Alexanders Horse. (notice that there's no ' in your name. That's because you made the 's' in mine lowercase )

oh, btw, what did actually give me the 'bigot' thingy?

If the Pope is God's representitive on earth, how do you explain all the really dodgy popes during the medieval period.

Hey Cyber here's a good 1000 year old prayer for you, never known to fail

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

That's true as well. But that always happens when people try to be free from the opressors.

Also when they try to oppress in turn as is what happened in Europe.

Yes.

You could do better in other ways though if you didn't call people bigots BEFORE they start name calling.

I always wait myself. Well I like to think that I always wait anyway.

Without reformation, we would still be stucked in the dark ages.
About name calling, I never do that, not even someone did it to me.

Good prayer AH, it's a pitty that nobody will hear it

Sure would. Archbishops aren't eligible to vote. Only Cardinals.

The pope sets the rules.

I don't have to like it since its pretty clear that its a belief with little in the way of reality behind it.

So what?

Perhaps we should invite the Jews to the next EC.

yeah, but see, the pop already has it so that only the cardinals vote.

some cardinals are archbishops, true, but that's only their acting position; their rank is actually higher.

for instance, cardinal francis acts as an archbishop of chicago, but his rank is a cardinal.

and all cardinals also have an "archbishop" position at a church in rome, which is pretty much just ceremonial.

The Renaisance came first. The Dark Ages were over by Luther's time.

About name calling, I never do that, not even someone did it to me.

For a rebuttal.

That counts as name calling. Well maybe not. Is it name calling if its true? And would that save AH from name calling in your case?
