It has been pretty crazy in the city with the Pope (and crew) around. His armed escort was substantial, to put it lightly.

A cool side effect of the visit, though, was that CP was loaded with NYPD yesterday morning during the CRCA races. They were honking and cheering and stuff. Wheeeee....

Bucky Dent.

bro, the yanks do suck this year. joe girardi is wound tight, it's reflected in the team's at-bats, literally their swings...their offense. imagine being tiger woods and having billy martin as your coach standing 30 feet from you for the entire round. now? now the pitchers are squeezing the ball as tightly as the batters hold their bats. i'm not certain right now, but my instinct was girardi over mattingly for a manager. i hope my instincts were correct.

cliffnotes: the yanks are the identical team as last year, an overaged group who couldn't get it done, hank and cash signed them all up again for another year and told us they are better. yanks also lack a sheffield or strawberry, a big bat with a bad attitude, they try so hard to be pretty boy professionals. too many wimps on the field, no outspoken leader. giambi was cooked last year, we're stuck with him. we'll make a trade at the all-star break and re-sign bucky dent to be the 3B coach.

Dude, there was a fold in the AL playoffs a few years ago that neutralizes everything and anything in the past. I don't even like the Red Sox, but it's over.

As to the Pope, did he drive the Popemobile into Yankee stadium?

[capybaras]

I heard the Pope is all ecological and rode in a bulletproof Smartcar.

[eddief]

to keep their stray bullets from ending up in places where they don't belong.

The Pope has style and wears red Prada shoes.

He had Mass at the new Nats stadium in Washington in the morning so he could hit the Haine's Point noon training ride. I think.

these ones aren't prada. just some italian vatican cobbler. i heard it on npr yesterday. his thong is prada, but that's a different story. i know someone saw him at the hotel pool in a red banana hammock... pretty sure it was seanjohn.
i heard he is going to post here, 'dope from the pope' ... something about front center and bb drop.

[DHallerman]

Meanwhile, even if they unearthed Papi's jersey, the Yankees are creating a New Curse of the Bambino (TM).

You mean they'll be tearing down his stadium, aka "The House that Ruth Built"? That's part one of the New Curse.

And they're not building the new stadium on the same holy ground? Taking away a park that's been used by Bronx families since the days of Babe Ruth? (Hey, he liked the kids.) That's part two of the New Curse.

The Bambino must be awfully upset about what they're doing.

The Yankees are creating their own curse...The New Curse of the Bambino (TM).

Dave, who knows these things are true since he is a Mets fan and remembers when Mookie Wilson levitated during a ninth inning Game Six at-bat against those Boston fellas

Dude I hear ya, there was a space time continuum over Boston a few years ago. I agree, but in a game of rock/paper/scissors the words, "Bucky Dent" are like photon torpedoes. Gotta say, the Pope was cool, he spoke of the bad priests which Catholics want to address.

Carl Yastrzemski was the last cool Red Sock. Ted Williams now works for the Pope atmo.

The whole Church can't depend on one man. A lot of men participated and supported child molestation for years and years. Big deal the new Pope says it was bad. There is a documentary made a few years back about these evil monsters in Boston - it really blew my mind how heartless they are. I will look for a link.

Become Lutheran. Kinda like Catholic but without the Pope. And you can get married.

[stevep]

in the yankee tradition of hiring aging superstars... the steinbrenner boys announce the arrival of the dalai lama sometime in the next weeks...

according to hank...

" well, we feel that we covered the christian side w/ the pope and dalai should square the team with buddhists worldwide... and last but not least we are looking for a nice giant size poster of muhammed to help us out with the billion moslems throughout the world... i figure we could mount the poster in center field in a spot where a big homer might hit it... and offer a $10,000 prize to the hitter who pokes mohammed in the eye... how could this go wrong? we need all the help we can get these days...cant forget the moslems..." hank

Actually Priests were allowed to marry till about 1150 AD or so.

He's new on the job atmo. :confused:He's been with the firm for a while, and has been involved during the course of the whole horrific affair. This was a major positive step from him regarding this issue.

I'd like to see anyone who's been involved in knowingly shielding those predators punished. But I understand the realpolitik at work.

[Birddog]

Many of the lesser known sects or "rites" of the Catholic Church allow priests to marry, the Coptics may be the most well known. Most if not all of these Rites are similar to "Orthodox" Churches, but they differ in one main respect in that they follow the dictates of the Papacy.

According to South Park that was when aliens took over the church iirc.

[BumpyintheBurgh]

Anytime I read about the Pope, I always think about the SNL skit back in 1979 on the occasion of Pope John Paul's visit to the US. Father Guido Sarducci, on the weekend update, starts a contest to "find the popes in the pizza". "All 254 of them are in there". It was a classic.

The Pope's appearance and words to the victims of September 11th, 2001 was quite powerful. He stopped by the WTC and it was very nice indeed.

All religions have deep and visible flaws, for instance, the massive tensions/issues in New York, Crown Heights riots etc between Afro Americans and Hasidic Jews. Again, this points out that no religion is without sin and stones can be tossed at all religious leaders/members. Christianity speaks of hating the sin, not the sinner; the Pope is addressing the flaws of our religion. :beer:

The short answer is, yes. In the last few decades, a small group of Episcopalian priests (fka Catholics who had forgotten their latin) have left to join the Roman Catholic Church. They decided to embrace the Roman rite, converted, and have been given assignments as married Roman Catholic priests, but former Roman Catholic priests, who have married, are not allowed to return to priestly duties.

Lutherans believe in saints, and have saints days. You just don't pray to them to intercide on your behalf with Jesus.

interesting, but what it misses is the reason why the Catholic Church recognizes the Coptic/Syrian/Armenian ect. churches is that they predate the Church of Rome

My flock wants to bestow Pope John Paul II with sainthood. I have a problem with this. To me, growing up as a kid, I always envisioned Saints as doing things which were miracles...water into wine type stuff. He was a great man, in many ways, but a Saint? That's saved for Eddy Merckx. I also think Your_friend! has some saintly qualities and Fixed could be a cult leader, he just needs to shave his head and wear a toga. But that's atmo.

Not really. That's why the non-pc lutherans make fun of Catholics for praying to statues (of saints). There might be some saints on the books just like there are old laws that no one enforces anymore. If you think you can find a Lutheran with a St. Christopher medal - good luck to you!

bro lol st. christopher is no longer a saint!!! in 1985 bro i chose 'christopher' as my saint's name for my confirmation. mrs. keenan my religion teacher told me, "no bro you can't use that name any longer." i was friggin shocked man, SHOCKED. I spoke with father colligan who baptised me, was the main cat at my communion and he said, "bro, my son, you can use 'christopher'." i was going to whether he approved the idea or not (i had already made my 'shield' with red and white felt and glue and i wasn't going to re-do it).

saint christopher = he was banned

yes really, like I said the saints do not intercede on your behalf hence no praying to statues. The Communion of Saints is in the bible and is believed in by Lutherans
