  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

DA POPE!

In a year when a Pope from Chicago is elected, anything is possible. Anything.

Yes, pizza from Aurelios in Homewood, IL., a very popular spot just 5 miles down the road from here. Arguably, it has the best pizza in da region. I have to try their Pope-A-Roni pizza next time I'm there.

When you try the Pope-A-Roni, let is know. Take a pic of the pizza if you remember.

He probably calls soda "pop" like I do, as a native midwesterner. ;)

I had some hope that cardinal Pizzabala would be elected pope, choose the name pope John XXIV, and be known as Papa John. Instead we get Chicago style pizza. I guess that's a fair trade.

The best Chicago popabilia I've seen this week is a T-shirt with the pope holding a hot dog in one hand and a stone tablet in the other. The tablet reads:

Thou shalt not
put ketchup
on thy hot dog.


EDIT: a word of explanation for those not familiar with THE Chicago Hot Dog:
A proper Chicago dog is an all-beef frankfurter (such as Vienna Beef) in a poppy seed bun, topped with yellow mustard, neon-green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onion, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers and celery salt, but NEVER ketchup.

In a certain picture, the Pope reminds me of someone who went to high school with me, lol.

However, that's only the "mature" version of the Pope. The younger version does not.

With all due respect, as an Australian, I'd rather have a meat pie. Apparently Pope Leo has been here a few times, so I suppose he can try a meat pie with peas next time and tomato sauce (not ketchup).

The Sydney Morning Herald - "That includes at least four known visits to Australia, where he developed a great love of Tim Tams and a hatred of Vegemite. Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher said it was “very likely” the newly elected Pope would visit Australia".2 days ago

It seems he hates vegemite which is our version of Marmite. I suppose he'd echo Tommy Cooper's joke about Marmite - "I entered a competition and won a year's supply of Marmite (Vegemite)! One jar!"
