Papabile: Papal predictions thread

[Valmy]

Now that I think about it, he also had to christen babies and counsel young folks who were thinking of getting married.

I guess he did have alot of shit to do, but none of it seems like 'work' to me, still.  It actually seems like it'd be fun and I'd consider doing it myself if there was a religion out there that expelled everyone once they turned 65.  Pretending to believe in something wouldn't be so tough, I don't think.

Well he did also have to run mass every day and write an inspiring speech every Sunday though.  That sounds like a pain.

I think he meant to convey, in his own inimitable grably way, that meals on wheels are fairly well known.

Don't worry, it'll disappear soon enough.

Cal's anecdotes make me want to watch Adam's Apples again.

I'd never heard of it except when I lived in Pennsylvania.  I thought maybe it was a PA thing only.  Maybe people in Massachusetts and Kentucky just don't care about our seniors.

Google confirms they have programs in both MA and KY.

Dude, what?  He was a Lutheran pastor.  Lutherans don't go to church every day.  They go on Sunday, period.  They don't even do that crazyass Wednesday night shit like the Baptists do.

Also, he didn't write a new sermon every Sunday.  He had this mailing list thing with other Lutheran pastors and they all used to exchange sermons with each other.  I would guess he wrote about one new sermon a month, and the rest were some other guy's sermon tweaked to be relevant (e.g. replace "Michigan" with "Pennsylvania" here, replace "St. Paul's Lutheran Church" with "Our Savior Lutheran Church" there, etc.)

I believe he was, in his own inimitable Valmastic manner, talking about the Papist.

Cal's anecdotes make me want to watch Adam's Apples again.

One time when I was like four, I asked my grandpa if he had a penis.  He said 'If I didn't, you wouldn't be here' and my grandma started cracking up.  They told that story over and over again to everyone else in the family, and he somehow managed to work that into one of his sermons even.  That's not one of his that I managed to hear, fortunately.

I don't care about that guy anymore.  It's all about Cal now.

"So, how was Church today?"

"Same old, same old. The pastor's going on about his penis in the sermon again."

[Caliga]

I'm kind of curious how he managed to do it and manage to not be fired by the congregation.

Tell us again about the time your butt exploded.

Sorry dude I thought we were talking about the Austrian bigot priest guy.

[mongers]

Is Cal ever going to stop remembering extra things his grandpa did ?

I have an inimitable Valmastic manner?

[Admiral Yi]

I have an inimitable Valmastic manner?

That was poetic license.
