on game of thrones this would be a very bad omen

the pope and these adorable children released some doves and prayed for peace in ukraine, then the doves were attacked by a seagull and black crow. did someone check how many eyes that crow had? via

good advice from caity weaver

NEW POPE ALERT!!!

i hope she's black!

NEW POPE

g-d is PISSED.

look at Him shooting lasers at st. peter's. thx a lot, ratzi-nazi!

by special request

pope benedict xvi quit being the pope today. Usually you have to die to stop being pope. the last pope to quit outright instead of dying was Celestine V in 1294. pope benedict, a former member of the hitler youth, says that he is too old and sick to carry on. he's probably right.

this was benedict xvi's papal crest. stay tuned to hear about the new pope and his crest. (CANT WAIT!)

jeez, i wish i knew a papal expert who could comment on today's news that Benedict XVI is quittting the job

does anyone know anyone who knows a lot about popes? or at least someone who cares enough about popes to get a pope tattoo? via

what, all this for me?

this pup snuck his way into a parade in mexico for the pope. can you believe it?

pope thing #5

speaking of alicia keys, the papal seal!

pope thing #4 (or, #1 pope)

did you know that the first pope was peter; like, bible peter. in fact, not only was he in the bible, he wrote a bunch of it. he plays a part in plenty of funny bible stories, so if you get a chance you could read some of them.

this is a picture someone took of jesus literally giving peter the keys to heaven. i wonder if those keys are hidden somewhere in the vatican... i bet tom hanks and amelie could find them.

pope thing #3

security guards. the swiss guard are fierce.

pope thing #2

when i got to reading about that pope assassination attempt, it reminded me of other things i happen to think are awesome about the pope.

awesome pope thing #1: immortal (see previous post)

awesome pope thing #2: THOSE CLOTHES

seriously, just google papal vestments. if youre wearing a hat, hold the F onto it. popes get the best outfits. everyday is like a royal wedding to jesus.

some guy once tried to kill Pope JP2

The papal assassination attempt happened in St. Peter's Square on May 13th, 1981. The pope was shot four times, and lived to forgive his potential assassin and visit him in prison.

On that moving occasion, Ali Agca knelt and kissed the Fisherman’s ring in a sign of respect; he did not ask for forgiveness. Instead, he said, “I know I was aiming right. I know that the bullet was a killer, So why aren’t you dead?”
