Joseph Ratzinger?

 

[exilarch]

Anybody for a female Pope? One time a female pope was elected while impersonating a man. She blew her cover when she became pregnant. True story.

 

[wilheim]

Jean-Marie Lustiger is a man?


wil.

 

[exilarch]

After the Church got burned by the female Pope,they hired someone to check the Pope's privates before he was crowned.Another true story. I wonder what the title was for the person that did the checking.

 

[BigGamesOnly]

I vote for Father Guido Sarducci.

 

[wilheim]

Have you read Mario Puzo's " The Family" about the Vatican and the Borgia family in the middle ages? Lot of Papal intrigue.
