The pope has historically been a powerful politician, the retiring pope has been behind several coup attempts in asia and africa

Agreeing with whitelightening here haha, I don't care either. I'm a completely convinced atheist (have nothing against people that believe in god...believe me ) so that makes this "big" news not really worth the attention on my part. Historically the pope had a big role but nowadays it's just a function that just represents a title. Like in Belgium we have a king, he doesn't do much but shaking hands and formalities. The real "ruling" of the country is by par...

The current retiring pope is kind of a big shot, he was in hitler youth and waffen SS then later on he attempted to overthrow several legitimate governments through his followers in several countries.The pope is more dangerous than ever with most people thinking that he's just a figurehead.
