We don't know if he's dead or not yet though...
that's foul...my bad. Rest in Peace.
I will alwys like this footage of him applauding the bboys...I know it is trite, but I like it. RIP.
speaks like what, 9 languages?
I don't think you get to be The Pope without being one bad motherfucker...
... and I mean that with all due respect.
Uhhhhhh...no.
Dude was gangsta. Got shot, had a palace full of bling bling, had a bullet proof ride, and loved the b-boys!!!!!!!!!
read Mario Puzo's "The Family" (or Audiobook it in the car, like me) - abso-frickin-lutely fascinating. Its not 100% percent true, but then again history never is.
is there video footage of this? I find this really interesting. Much respect for old people who can open up their minds enough to respect new art.
It was one most of the news channels when it happened so I bet you can find it archived somewhere, just do a google or check CNN.com
I know what you mean. Drudge had it up, then it was gone....
Cosign, I just saw my friend at AutoZone and when the conversation ran dry he suddenly piped up with "Pope dead yet?"
Nah dude, the Cardinals (no Pujols) or Bishops vote on it. I saw a documentary on it once, it was pretty interesting. It was a movie about how the process of electing the current Pope, and how it was a big deal that he wasn't Italian. Lots of ornate haberdashery if you're into that sort of thing.
the cardinals, they convene a council of cardinals and do a bunch of secret ballots until they elect a pope. in the good old days this led to lots of stabbings. next pope could very likely be south american.
the original polish prince. RIP
Grey = no Pope.
White = we got a Pope!
something like that.
RIP
RIP, I hope they get a progressive pope with his tenaciousness and antiwar stance next. With more and more of the developing world converting, the church could really be a force for change...eh, pipe dreams I guess.
Dude I am loving your hopefulness and positivity. That's what's kept me (somewhat) involved with the church for this long. It's like, they're almost there, and like you said, they're big enough to actually affect a meaningful change.
Cue jokes about little boys....now.
What exactly did the pope do? I saw him sit around a lot... ?
I was watching the Godfather Part 3 DVD earlier this week and then this news hit. Weird. The plot was modeled around the mysterious death surrounding John Paul I in the late 70s...makes me want to learn more about him
I recommend you to check the history surrounding the papacy at that time. There was a HUGE amount of controversy surrounding it. Pretty interesting.

He judged a lot of holy b-boy battles, dodged bullets, rolled in a holy armored whip, rocked holy hats, collected cash every sunday, and real headz know he broke it down with the linguistics.
