At the general audience, a man in a wheelchair gave his mobile phone to the Pope, who took it and spoke for a few seconds to someone."
SarahB Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 That's my avatar on another site with the caption, "Only you can prevent forest fires." I couldn't resist.
God Conquers Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Apparently that is the first time any pope has ever used a mobile phone!
Didacus Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 I just want to note, that the pope is much more than a mere leader, he is genuinely loved by those who follow him, and i believe he genuinely returns this love. World leaders must be so envious of him, i imangine. VIVA PAPA!
avalia Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 What's not to love, honestly. If he wasn't chosen by the Holy Spirit and even before his papacy a fabulous theologian and scholar... I would just love him for being such a cute German Shepard.

marboniface Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Gee, I think you are all right - the Holy Father is just great. Marboniface
avalia Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 I know I know, it's a bit trite here, but still true. Ugh, I sounded like a sorority girl/backstreet boy fan in 2001 But he's stil super-cool......
Noel's angel Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 If he wasn't Pope, I could imagine him with a little flat cap on, with his grandchildren, in tartan slippers and a tweed jacket, telling stories of by-gone years when he was young and the sky was blue and the grass was green....
Q the Ninja Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 He's so funny. He's actually a pretty spontaneous guy...I just hope that he's been on time for his recent appointments, he was late for his first one!
