Popes visit, will someone try to assasinate him?

Bjorn Bored. · 15-09-2010 3:01pm #1

I just have a funny feeling some unhinged and dis-affected person will try, I wonder how good the security actually is?

Last yr some crazy lady pushed him over ,dont remember where,but I just think lots and lots of people are mad at him and all he stands for.

That happened in Rome itself, and she wasn't exactly mad at him... more mad for him, as I understand.

I don't think anything spectacular will happen at all.

I "pray to God" someone will get him

Don't really see anyone being that bothered to be honest. Generally speaking, i find 'atheists' don't hold a grudge against the church. For the most part, I believe they just don't care.

I know I don't.

I thought it would be ironically because you don't believe in murder...oh well..

Hmm. Sounds like insider knowledge. Got something to confess, Bjorn?

That's not very nice

we may have disagreements with him, and how, but wishing for his murder is uncalled for

would be uncalled for to wish for the murder of Hitler or Mao or Pol Pot or papa doc or baby doc .......

sure his crimes aren't as bad but hes still a criminal IMO

without a fair trial, yes it would be uncalled for.

i guess but a fair trial wouldn't be fair with a religious leader

I'm afraid I'd have to agree with bluewolf. Cant we just do something to his voicebox?

I am sure the Pope would welcome death as Gods number one on earth he is going to a better place.

* again Ironically as I do not believe in God, due to this nothing I say can be used against me as its all hypothetical. I dont not wish any harm on Benny the Nazi Ratzinger. I hope he lives long enought to be sentenced for crimes against humanity

AFAIK, all youngsters in Germany at the time were conscripted into Hitler youth. I've no love for the man but it wouldn't be fair to hold that one against him.

Yeah ....Sure but they would have instilled their beliefs in him , im pretty sure it probably stuck

We've got enough reason to dislike the pope. Must we stoop to saying "Oh, he probably thinks Nazism is great too"?

The OP is probably considering whether to asassinate Benny or Tony, or both.

Decisions, decisions....:pac:

im NOT saying he does , but its likely that the Nazi propaganda got to him being submerged in it for so long at a young age

Sure by the time oul Ratzo was wandering around in his little black short pants and brown shirt and learning the Horst Wessel his mother church had already made the deal with the Nazis and werre up to their necks with the Croatian fascist government so no you cant blame him on being recruited to the Hitler Youth

He was conscripted into the hitler youth, like all teenage boys at that time were. He was un-enthusiastic, also, and left as soon as he could.

Following his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger was conscripted into the Hitler Youth — as membership was required by law for all 14-year old German boys after December 1939[9] — but was an unenthusiastic member who refused to attend meetings.[10] His father was an enemy of Nazism, believing it conflicted with the Catholic faith[citation needed]. In 1941, one of Ratzinger's cousins, a 14-year-old boy with Down syndrome, was taken away by the Nazi regime and killed during the Aktion T4 campaign of Nazi eugenics

But didn't ye know that the Pope is a distant relation of the House of Winsdor (Saxe-Coburg family).

That's not what he said in his semi-autobiography:

Would not surprise me at all if he got shot or something did happen. And it would NOT be a religious shooting or killing, it would be some of the crimes he has commited and his organisation against people.

bnt · 15-09-2010 11:30pm

I don't see the point. A coupla prayers, a bit of white smoke, another pope. Better the devil you know ... :mad:

Dave! · 15-09-2010 11:35pm

He'll probably just get a pair of brogaí thrown at him, he'll be grand ! If Barack Obama made it for this long, then Il Papa will be safe as houses (especially behind bullet-proof glass...)
