Another reason for me to not like the current Pope

Hhhmm... big surprise... pope says any religion that doesn't recognize his authority is false...

Predictable, but come on. "You don't agree with me so you are obviously wrong. Change your mind immediately." But I can't give you any valid reasons to do so.

Glad I'm a pagan. Out of the whole discussion. He would hardly even bother with me- I'm doomed anway.

Sixtus the Fifth... I like that. Was that a real name?

It was his pope name.

His birth name was Felice Peretti.

Sadly, there does not seem to have been a Pope Sixtus the Sixth.

Sixtus I - 117-126 AD
Sixtus II - 257-258 AD
Sixtus III - 432-440 AD
Sixtus IV - 1471-1484 AD
Sixtus V - 1585-1590 AD

(Yes, I know it is redundant to include AD in Papal terms but I was just making it clear they were years.)

Good. I live in hope for the pope after Palpatine dies. I want a Sixtus the Sixth in my lifetime!

(But, when I think about it, my great grandchildrens' Sixtus the Seventh would be waaaaay cooler!)

Oh dear, iSm.... you know about this, don't you? Sixtus the Sixth... hmm.... I hope there aren't any Italian cardinals named Peter right now!

This reminds me of one of my favorite Stephen Colbert quotes that I use frequently to make my coworkers scratch their heads:

Quote:

I know the Roman Catholic Church is the One True Church because the Roman Catholic Church tells me it's the One True Church.

I hope that Sixtus the sixth, seventh and eighth have short papacies because I'm waiting for Sixtus the ninth.
