terribleturner Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 So as im sure your all aware by now, the pope has been given his last rights, and im pretty sure it's not a April Fools trick unless he's one sick mother. But anyways, i was chatting to a Polish girl at work and she informs me that a prophet many years ago predicted that the next Pope would be a black pope. Personnally im not religous and it doesn't faze me what so ever, but how do you think the rest of the world will react?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Well anyone who speaks out against it is a cretin obviously. I don't know enough about the procedure to know who's in line to get it next. Is it just selected from a list of candidates? I wonder if we'll ever reach a stage where the words 'The first black x' becomes a nonsense? Even the BBC still use the phrase, as in 'The first black metropolitan police commissioner', or 'the first black president of the united states', etc. I find it quite bizarre really - it's clearly making the skin colour a fact worth commenting on and I dunno why no one ever picks them up on it.

If you believe the rubbish in the media we're all 'institutionally racist' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jot_ie Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I dont think its a racial thing. Its a prophecy. Roumor has it that there will be one other pope after a black pope, or something like that, before the end of the world. And a black pope is supposed to be next.
