• Pope Francis Continues His Campaign Against Flamboyancy: Declines Papal Palace Apartment for Simple
    126 replies, posted
[quote]Pope Francis has decided to shun a grand papal apartment on the top floor of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace in favour of a modest two-room residence. His spokesman said he was "trying out this type of simple living" in a communal building with other priests. In doing so he has broken a tradition which is more than a century old. The decision reinforces the newly-elected Pope's austere reputation. As archbishop of Buenos Aires he refused to move into the Bishop's Palace. Preferring more modest accommodation, he also often cooked his own meals.[/quote] Here's what the Papal Apartments look like: [img]http://i.imgur.com/u2jHH8k.jpg[/img] This is what Pope Francis is living in: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3YJoN9D.jpg[/IMG] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21949118[/url]
Who'd want to stay there anyway with Christ bearing down on you like that?
[QUOTE=Winters;40063054]Who'd want to stay there anyway with Christ bearing down on you like that?[/QUOTE] Popes, apparently. They probably feel good with Christ watching their every move.
No wonder he turned down the Papal Apartment. It's so gaudy. The place he chose is a step up.
Does he really think acting as if he's a simple man will make us forgot the homophobia, sexism and hiding of paedophiles? Fuck all the popes.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;40063225]what fuck Obama because Nixon was an awful president [editline]27th March 2013[/editline] does he think being black will make me forget about Watergate!?[/QUOTE] No, fuck all the popes because they've all been assholes.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;40063166]Does he really think acting as if he's a simple man will make us forgot the homophobia, sexism and hiding of paedophiles? Fuck all the popes.[/QUOTE] No but he has to start somewhere.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;40063242]No, fuck all the popes because they've all been assholes.[/QUOTE] He hasn't even done anything yet why is he accountable for previous Popes' actions?
[QUOTE=sp00ks;40063242]No, fuck all the popes because they've all been assholes.[/QUOTE] It's a small step, but at least it's in the right direction. It's better than just another bigoted old white guy that lives in luxury while pretending he's a good christian.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;40063242]No, fuck all the popes because they've all been assholes.[/QUOTE] By the looks of it, not only popes are biased assholes...
[QUOTE=Murkrow;40063254]No but he has to start somewhere.[/QUOTE] How about starting with renouncing all the awful shit the Catholic Church does and stand for? Oh wait, he won't do that because he actually believes in that fucked up shit.
I'd rather have the bottom one, the top one is ugly as heck, I wouldn't want to be there for very long
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;40063269]He hasn't even done anything yet why is he accountable for previous Popes' actions?[/QUOTE] because religion is bad! No really though, this guy has barely started so he has enough time to cause some fuck ups we will bitch about in the future.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;40063269]He hasn't even done anything yet why is he accountable for previous Popes' actions?[/QUOTE] He's accountable for everything he has done in the past, and I seriously doubt he's going to start caring about women, homosexual people etc.
[QUOTE=Winters;40063054]Who'd want to stay there anyway with Christ bearing down on you like that?[/QUOTE] Thank you, I spit ice chunks at my monitor.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;40063269]He hasn't even done anything yet why is he accountable for previous Popes' actions?[/QUOTE] Well, all of mankind is supposedly responsible for two people disobeying the great and almight GAWD 6,000 years ago, so I guess it would make sense for the current pope to be responsible for the actions of all previous popes.
[QUOTE=Radley;40063277]By the looks of it, not only popes are biased assholes...[/QUOTE] If I ever did any of the shit the popes do I really hope you'd call me out on it.
Actually his 'modest' two-bedroom is luxurious
[QUOTE=sp00ks;40063342]If I ever did any of the shit the popes do I really hope you'd call me out on it.[/QUOTE] I would but I wouldn't call your successor out on it.
[QUOTE=ZenZill;40063345]Actually his 'modest' two-bedroom is luxurious[/QUOTE] That's what modest is. Really good without being overly showy of it. I mean yeah it's fancier than my place, but it's not nearly as showoffy as the normal papal apartment.
[QUOTE=Jsm;40063377]I would but I wouldn't call your successor out on it.[/QUOTE] I am not saying the popes are assholes for something they haven't done, I'm saying they're all assholes because they've all supported the same horrible policies.
It seems to me that people cant really find anything terrible about this pope to whine about yet(looks like Palpatine,ex nazi, the usual) so they're just going for the jugular and getting butthurt over what [I]every pope ever[/I] has believed, things like Anti gay rights and all that shit.

Who gives a damn what he thinks? You realize that hating people who are anti-gay is about as hypocritical as you can get? Hating people because of beliefs is no different than christians hating atheists or vice-versa. You're literally no better. It's fucking obnoxious to go into every good-news Pope thread and have someone tear into a religious leader for upholding his religious values. What the fuck else did you expect? You have a choice between another Benedict who flaunts his riches or a Francis who acts humble and tries to help the poor. This is absolutely nothing but good. Sorry, but you won't get a pope who suddenly decides "hey gays ur cool and women can be priests k!" It's incremental steps like this that are what will bring about change in a slow-moving institution like the church.
