My favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven't elected a new one. There's no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know, I don't miss it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is my hope that Pope Francis realizes his time is better spent focusing on matters like religious tolerance and the sanctity of all life.
I like the catholicity in time: our tradition is one of 2,000 years.
As for the Pope, I am too old to be frightened by his shadow, and am quite sure his shadow or Substance will do less harm to the liberties of my country than will a party, who seek to acquire political power by exciting religious bigotry in the minds of their duped followers.
To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.
The Pope, I hope, can only be scared by God.
The time that I have on this earth should just be filled with good times.
The pope dies, you get another pope.
I have great respect for the Pope. I like the Pope. I actually like him.
What a terrible thing it would be to be the Pope! What unthinkable responsibilities to fall on your shoulders at an advanced age! No privacy. No seclusion. No sin.
We're all expendable. We think the world's going to stop when a pope dies, or a king. And then... life goes on.
