The religious version of the royal family! No real power or purpose but still entertaining!

you don't call having a direct line with God real power ?

Amazing how the WSJ gets all worked up about somebody with no purpose or power!

Donald Trump?

Great Thin Lizzy song.

As wide a swath as the discussions on this board cut, kinda surprised there isn't a "Pope's Here" thread. So here's one ... use it, or don't.

Apparently after he addresses Congress he's going to dine with the homeless rather than the legislators. The meal may not be as filling, but I reckon the conversation will be very much more so.

Seacrest would usually start the thread, but he is in the corner in the fetal position realizing that the Pope says the same things as Obama.

The Pope is Back in Town
