He dismissed cardinals and bishops who were proven to be abusers, again unlike his predecessors.

I can't believe I'm defending the pope, me of all people, but you're coming across as very narrow-minded and ignorant.

so, it looks like you have a lot of slapping to do.
Personally, I'd slap the other three (well JP I died pretty quickly once in office so maybe not him) before Francis. He's the only pope in my lifetime I've actually had time for.




It's a light hearted thread that I cast my dark evil spell on, as per.

JPII is like Elizabeth II , in the respect that he's the only pope, I've every really known in my life time, the rest are just fillers and I couldn't tell you their names. Same with the queen, if someone else were to take the throne I'd probably refer to them as Elizabeth.

Charles is next in line. William and Harry are about third or fourth.
