If You Could Have Lunch With The Pope...

[Ringer]

What kinds of questions would you ask? Would you have high expectations in regards to him shedding a different light on Catholicism? Would you be nervous? Excited? Would you really care less and ask if next time you could just hang out with Ringer instead because he has a finer taste in beer?

 

[monta]

What did you do in the war pappa ?

 

[Wookiemonster]

Why do you not wear makeup so that you don't look quite so evil in your pictures.

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

I would not accept.
His views are well publicised and I don't care for many of them.
It would make for an unpleasant lunch.

 

[Nepenthe]

I'd ask what he'd suggest off the menu then order a large fries and a Diet Pepsi just to be contrary. Then I'd dine and dash.

Then I'd find Ringer's house and see if there was anything to eat in the fridge.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I'd cause a worldwide scandal by converting the Pope to an atheist by the end of the meal.

I'd cause a worldwide scandal by converting the Pope to an atheist by the end of the meal.

By ordering a basket of communion wafers and butter?

 

[Gentoo]

I wouldn't want to go... but being an ex-Catholic (and having an entire Catholic family) I guess I'd have to. I would want to know more about him and his journey through Catholicism, if he struggles with pride knowing that he's the leader of the Catholic Church...

 

[Preacher_LaFleur]

I would want to know why they wear the fancy robes and the big head dress., I would also like to ask john paul what was the deal with the bunny ears? Like did it mean something or make him more Holy.

 

[gnomon]

I have such little respect for the Pope and the reasoning behind the whole institution I would not ask him anything about what he does or his religion.

But imagining if I had lunch with him anyway I'd ask him to pass the salt.

 

[Valjean]

I'd explore why he originally chose Catholicism. Did he study other religions and find Catholicism stood up better to critical analysis? If he didn't do such a critical analysis before choosing his religion then how is his faith anything other than a culturally comfortable path, or a whim?
I'd ask him weather he might have become an Imam had he been born in a Muslim country. If he answered in the affirmative I'd know he did not give any thought to his decision, but simply followed the familiar, comfortable path, and he'd loose credibility, in my eyes.

 

[Quagmire]

I would ask him, "were you gonna eat that"?

 

[Quagmire]

Me: "Hey Pope, next time could I just hang out with Ringer instead because he has a finer taste in beer?

Pope: "He's from Wisconsin, what do you expect"?

 

[Quagmire]

Me: "Hey Pope, how come Jesus didn't turn the water into Henry Weinharts"?

Pope: "I think we're just about through here. Waiter, check please!"

 

[Father Heathen]

I would ask him what stat bonuses he gets from having his hat equipped.

 

[whereismynotecard]

I would really prefer not to have lunch with him. I think it would be uncomfortable.

 

[Willamena]

What kinds of questions would you ask?

"Do you know where the lunch with the Dhali Lama Is being held?"

 

[whereismynotecard]

I would ask him what stat bonuses he gets from having his hat equipped.

HP +20%
Poison Ward
Silence Proof
MP +10%

 

[Valjean]

"Do you know where the lunch with the Dhali Lama Is being held?"

In Dharamsala, I'd presume.

 

[s.gal83]

I will ask him about how he feels being the top person in the catholic world.
