In reply to: JoltinJoe 's message, "Not true. A pope may be married, unless he has taken a vow of chastity. Any baptized male is theoretically eligible. That's all this is required by church law. He does not have to have made other sacraments. He can be married with children too. However, a pope is always an unmarried man because he is without fail chosen from the College of Cardinals." on Tue April 05, 2005 10:29:42

What do you expect after 23 years in Catholic schools and universities? (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Tue April 05, 2005 11:13:35
- 19 years that is. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Tue April 05, 2005 11:17:38
- I only went for 17 - you must have learned that in the last two. (NT) -- J92, Tue April 05, 2005 11:20:12
JoltinJoe is a Jesuit trained lawyer. Let the conspiracy theories commence! (Please note, JoltinJoe was still a child when John Paul I died, it is unlikely he had any involvement with the Vatican Bank or International Immobiliare, as he had not yet divested himself of his playground casino operations).

- Where are you posting from. Don't you have some place to be? (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Tue April 05, 2005 11:36:34
  - Wirelessly, from Rome. The scuttlebutt here is that after two weeks of deadlock, the Cardinals in the conclave will elect you as a dark horse candidate. (NT) -- Ram '91, Tue April 05, 2005 11:42:26
