The pope

Well it looks like the pope is pretty sick. Kinda sad even though I am not a religious person. I have a feeling they will try to keep him alive as long as they can. I wonder why? Not like he can do anything to help the church. Maybe cause he is a symbol.

I'm fascinated by the procedure to .... I guess "elect" a new pope with the smoke signals and such (although I believe that the pope should be passed for generation to generation, maybe I'm wrong. I will look in to it) . It kinda difficult to explain so I'll just put a link here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope#Election

anyway all is well .... for now
