Slayer Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Queen Lizzie sounds like the name of a third rate draq queen. Well...
Guest Quik Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Not like he didn't have a long fruitful life He finishes third on the list of longest reigning pontiffs Yeah, it was a good long reign. Thank God he didn't get shafted like Paul VI who had to job his title out to a very green John Paul I before getting booted from the religion. He went over to Judaism for a little while afterwards; I think they promised him at least a transitional reign, but he was held down and was a Rabbi for about 2 years before quitting the religion.

Guest cosbywasmurdered Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 On CBS they've got a point, it's the last big figure of the 20th Century that was left. Man, I miss the 1900s. There's still a lot of guys left. I consider Ali a huge figure of the century, transcending sport. There's still three US presidents left alive of that era. Mandela. How many of those still alive are still doing what they're known for? That's the point they were trying to make. Even in this largely secular world, the office of the Pope is still perceived as arguably a bigger deal than any other leader. Those great men and women who are still alive have gone into private lives and don't carry much influence anymore. Nelson Mandela is still influential...
Nighthawk Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Billy Graham is like the protestant pope, and still kicking around. Very old, though.
