If I were male and Pope (female Catholics only)

Ooohhhh this is fun. Okay if I were male and Pope I’d DEFINITELY wear those great red Prada shoes and the Gucci sunglasses. ( I just got a gorgeous pair of Gucci sunglasses and love them.) I just love that Pope Benedict XVI has fashion sense and has worn some of the older traditional hat and garb of the Papacy.

I like a Pope with style.

I always joke that the reason Jesus didn’t allow women Priests is because he knew before long we would have Barbie pink cathedrals, chandeliers over the altar, altar servers with tiaras and Royal capes on, and peacock colored Priestly garments.

Sounds good to me!

Although I am quite happy to be a female and not a priest, if I were a male AND the Pope, I would immediately excommunicate Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and any other Catholic politician who is in support of abortion. Abolishing abortion would be on the TOP of my list. I also love a previous poster’s idea of instituting health education. We are stewards of our bodies and there are too many of us who are not taking care of ourselves.

Have you been watching Fellini’s movies lately?

You would be amazed at how much trouble I got in when I told that to a woman once. She was not very tickled by my joke.

You are joking but there is a lot of truth to what you say. We love to decorate and that could probably change things up.

Hope you are kidding about the Prada shoes. He does not and did not wear Prada shoes!!

She is totally kidding. He wears Christian Louboutin’s.

Yes, on a serious note, I think it would be a prudent move to institute, or at least encourage, a sort of basic health regimen for clergy. God made us stewards of our bodies, it would set an example to the laity, and it would preserve the overall quality of life and effectives of the leaders of the Church.

This strikes me as a very “female” thing to do. “You look like you could lose a little?” “Are you eating right?”

And I agree that this is a good idea. Exercize has many benefits including stress relief.

Check out the Byzantine Catholic Churches…they have all that already! Or most at least!
