I wonder...

I wonder if the Pope ever visits internet forums in disguise to see what's going on with the "flock"?

What? You haven't figured out who "Tu Es Petrus" is?

If he hasn't already I will send him a quick email with a link to the OBOB board.
He would make a great Mod also

No, he'd probably be driven away from there as too liberal!


(That was a joke on the conservative tendencies of a lot of OBOBers, not a slam at the forum.)

If only he had time for such things.

Honestly, the Pope has no time for these things.

Neither do, I but I make time

 

[Chesterton]

They say some European kings used to sometimes walk around in disguise to make conversation and hear what the villagers and peasants "really" thought about the king.

 

[Neriah]

I don't think he has the time or need to do so. Throughout his life he has seen the pain and suffering of people, the misunderstanding through ignorance and hate from some about the Church, he has seen the needs of many men. The physical, emotional and spiritual poverty in the world. He doesn't need any forum to know that.

Last week the Pope sent out a letter to all his Bishops and stated that they had neglected the internet as an important source of information in measuring reaction to things they were doing.

So, he has probably not been here before, but might send someone to listen in the future.

You caught me!

Nope, but every once in a while Jesus stops in to take a look.

Personally, if I were the pope, given this new technology where ideas can flow and be debated faster than ever before, I would have a team assigned to find the biggest boards, do some research to see what the major debated topics are and see if I could actually refute them or not. If not, I think I might be a bit on the nervous side as a pope and all.

I would be surprised if the higher ups in the Catholic Church haven't been on internet forums reporting directly to the pope. He may have even visited a few himself.

He does have time for a stogie apparently:

Why not a little surfing now and then?

[Hentenza]

He was here but I E-banned him.

I understand that like the good ol boys down here in Georgia, he likes his beer from time to time also.

Great work! I'm sure you made an impression.

Apparently so...

"Steps in to take a look"? Hey, a part of His Body participates in every post in the CO area, and virtually every thread in the rest of the board.
