jeffpugh Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 [quote name='tinytherese' post='1896917' date='Jun 20 2009, 08:21 PM']I remember watching this one documentary about him last month called [i]Love Affair With the [/i][i]Truth[/i] or something. It wasn't as good as [i]Witness to Hope[/i] though it did have its good parts. In one scene this reporter from CNN referred to his previous position as cardinal for the Doctine of the Faith as Darth Vader. Other parts that I found hilarious were when it mentioned how he kept trying to resign from his position multiple times but JP2 didn't let him and how can you say no to him? There was also the part where his brother spoke on how his phone kept ringing with reporters on the other end and he was avoiding them, then he was told from his secretary or whoever that he could talk on it then because his brother the pope was on the other line. He said that they conversed like they had in the past casually just like normal brothers.[/quote] Darth Vader? I thought people kept saying he looked like The Emperor (Darth Sidius) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also made popular as a tone poem by Strauss: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igAy4bG8Q6Q"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igAy4bG8Q6Q[/url] Seriously, yes there are a few Catholic prophecies both in Scripture and private revelation which seem to point to the next pope after our beloved Pope Benedict.
