In fairness to the sky fairies deputy yer one last week was well outta order
@gm_cmanning: Does he now fit the description of a ‘Slapper’.!!
@gm_cmanning: whats a sky fairy?
@Seamus Mac: the popes imaginary boss
@ÓDuibhír Abú: absolutely but that’s hardly a bad thing. A promotion really I guess
@gm_cmanning:
She may have been desperate. Perhaps she has suffered terribly and in her desperation she clinged to him. The pope should have above average empathy at the very least. Otherwise, what is the point of the role? He may as well drop the pretence now.
@Sylvia O’Regan: Technically, he’s an 83 year old man running a worldwide church with a pile of current and historical problems on behalf an all powerful god (or so he believes, anyway). Let’s cut him a bit of slack. Who among us has not sinned, first stones, etc.
@Sylvia O’Regan:
Jaysus cut the man some slack ffs
We can all use imaginary speculation as leverage to suit our own prejudices and projections
“Perhaps” also she was desperate for a selfie.
@Sylvia O’Regan: and she may not have been. You can’t be grabbing and pulling an 83 yr old (insert joke here) like that without their consent. I agree with the pointlessness of the role though.
Was he lactating?
@Diogenes: no he always wears white
@Diogenes: Over 1,000,000 human contacts since becoming a cardinal. 1 mistake. Give the man a break.
@MJF Consultants – Business Advisers: that seems quite a low estimate in almost 19 years.
He’ll be meat slapping Bishops next.. Oh, wait!!!
I’d say there will be fairly immediate and significant rise in the amount of clerical hand-slapping if this is where it leads lol
She could take this to the labour court now in ireland and get 20k for sexual harassment
imaging a vampire bit the pope. whats gonna happen?
#cult
Jesus did worse. Read what happened with the syro phoenician woman. By their fruits…
Hope he doesn’t make a habit of this now
Your human like us our Holy Father.
The woman was a bit overwhelmed …it was a shame for the young woman, good job ut wasn’t a child, mabye the pope needs to retire
