DonkeyKongerko Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 This is weird, four regions but the seeding makes it seem like there's only two. I like Coach K for Pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Interesting note: I noticed the regions are Italy, Latin America, Europe, Africa-Asia. You guys ever think there will be an American born Pope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are most likely right. And with America's standing in the world, it will be a long time if ever, that we see an American pope. Good money would be bet on Italian or Latin American. I really doubt the Catholic church is advanced enough for a black pope, so that eliminates a whole continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt the Catholic church is advanced enough for a black pope, so that eliminates a whole continent. With America's standing in the world -- and the fact that the Popes need to speak multiple languages, be very diplomatic etc. etc., it'd be difficult seeing an American Pope with the political climate that is dominating the country at the current time. It'd be really cool to see a Latin American Pope although they would probably pick somebody who is quite moderate and not a follower of liberation theology. But whomever the Pope is, they've got a lot of work ahead of them since J2P2 didn't do too much to handle the priest rape scandal or the 3rd world AIDS/HIV crisis due to his severely ailing health at the time. And an odd aside about the Pope -- when other major world entities came out against the war, it was chic to bash the French, the Germans, etc. etc., but nobody said s*** about the Pope and the Vatican's anti-war position. Why weren't the feverish demands to boycott Catholic churches and the such until a more pro-American pope came to power like the boycott (albeit a very unsuccessful one since imports from France have gone up since the start of the Iraq war) of France?

Heads22 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Now's as good of time as any to release the pairings for Soxtalk's greatest Admin/SuperMod. The winner of the matchup between LCR and Capn12 will face Spiff as the twelve seed. I seeded myself lowest of the admins to prevent favortism and all admins were aherad of global mods, with the original big 4 seeded highest. Got some good matchups, people.

Simple answer. This is what anyone would expect from the Pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
