Something like "But he has testicles... and good "

Well, I'll just give the answer.

Spoiler:

"But does he have testicles, and do they hang wel?"
Each time a new Pope is elected, he has to sit on a special chair, and someone (I think a doctor) looks, or feels, I forgot, to check if it's a bloke and not a woman. The one who checks the gender will exclaim Testiculus habet, et bene pendentes (He has testicles, and they hang well), if there  is conformation of the new pope being male.

If it is true, then I know what I want to be when I grow up, the Pope's Bollock examiner.

The thing about the chair? Yes, it is, it happened because a female was made Pope once by accident, and they only found out when she gave birth...

No ****. Sounds like something out of Eurotrip.

I don't imagine its a very hard job. You go to work maybe once every 25 years or so. Sounds like a sweet deal.

.....during Mass.

And IIRC it's some normal I ranking officer having to feel up the Pope.

Every single time I hear news about the new pope that little sentence crosses my mind, for the sheer ludicrousy of it.

Screw the workload, imagine the bragging rights, imagine the chat up lines and conversation breakers you could use.

"Hey baby, ever sleep with a guy thats manhandled the pope's balls?"

You'll be fighting 'em off with a stick.

I'm pretty sure some of it is quite real.

At least, with the rest f the catholoic traditions, it's plausible enough.

But why would he need guns?  Couldn't/shouldn't he lay the Holy Smackdown with a divine hammer and bolts of holy light from his eyes or something?

So what if they don't hang well? And does this mean it's fine if the Pope is a hermaphrodite, as long as s/he hangs well?

Well, he needs bollocks, and they need to hang well......

The prime thing is that he needs a pair, though.

A (sort-of) serious thread degenerated into something even less serious.

John Paul's spinning in his grave. Can't you hear him? *whirrr*

...and he's not even in his grave yet.

That's make it an interesting scene when he's lying in state, I suppose.

I'm not joking about the Pope in the way that should cause concern. Now, if I were making derogatory jokes, then concern should be raised.

Nevertheless, I will avoid such comments in the future. ;)

I'm fine with not insulting the Pope, as long as, when any other religious leader dies, be he a Muslim Cleric, A Sikh Priest or the Dalai Lama, after all, they are all merely icons of their faiths, they are treated in the same way. So if we are going to do this, then let's not have comments when a Muslim Cleric dies, simply because he promotes something you don't agree with (The Pope promoted the non-use of condoms - The reason I'm here and typing this ;) ), or jokes or other comments...

Let's have it one way or the other, either we can all be floorboards, being utterly politically correct, and having no character, or we can take punches to our faiths on the chin, knowing that what we believe can change other people more than other people can change what we believe ;)

a member of this swedish board I run came up with an idea to make the election of a new pope into a reality show. it's called "The Pope"
Quote
(Translated):
127 cardinals locked up in the vatican, only one of them can be The Pope"

throw in a couple of choir boys and some booze, and we have an instant success


seriously, though, it's an idea for them to considder. the cathies should be more on par with the times.
