Hes not sick..He looks ok to do the Job. OBAMA IS SICK! IN HIS HEAD!
I do not want to continue debating what the Pope wears. He wears different habits or vestment over his ordinary clothes depending on what he is doing.
I want to comment on Cardinal Luia Tagle. He could be the new Pope. When I first met him he was wearing trousers and a shirt.He spoke to a poor Filipino Congregation after mass, Although he spoke in Filipino I was told his speech was about overcoming poverty.He was a bishop than. Now he is a Cardinal he wears a Black gown over his clothes. It is what he says not what he wears is important. He wants the Church to live in the real world, reject Materialism but bring out he problems of a secular society in the open. He has similar views on the sex scandals and falling church attendance. We must bring these things out in the open and learn to overcome them. Is this not the vision needed in the catholic Church today?
Whatever you think about theCcatholic Church, The Pope's job is difficult. I do not think any other organization of these size would expect the Managing Director to work to he dies.The Pope wears, essentially, the formal clothes of the late Roman period plus a lot of decoration. He is very old, and it hardly seems fair to expect an old gentleman to try to keep in order quarrelsome gangs of crooked bankers, homosexuals and paedophiles, whatever he is wearing. The chickens are coming home to roost, so he does well to chuck out the nuns and take over a nunnery.

As to where he goes when he lives the Papa l Palace , there is no suggestion he goi8ngt to keep out the nuns He is just going to retire in a religious hose which will still have some nuns. There is plenty of room in these houses because of the shortage of vocations

Dawkinrocks, I am not blind to the problems in the Catholic church. I am aware of Cardinal O'Connor resignation. Although the resignation letter was put in some time, Pope Benedict choose to accept it on the eveof the election as one of his last acts. I think that why he resign to get a younger man from a country not part of the sex and Pedophilia scandals to take over> That why I hope someone like CardinallLuia Tagle can be elected. As He said he will bring an Asian way to look at these problems. To bring it out in the open. I do not think Philippines are ignorant but have less hang ups that many English speaking people on sex.Aus you seem to be wilfully ignorant of the huge amount of evil perpetrated by the RC chuch
I see the Cardinal in London has had to resign for his predatory behaviour towards other men
The US cardinal who is part of the conclave played a massive part in covering up industrial scale paedophilia amongst his priests
But the population of the Philipines are largely very poor and superstitious and these are the environments for the vicious lies of religion to flourish in
Take off your blinkers and accept that whilst the RC church parades a few good deeds to make suckers ignore huge amount of criminal behaviour it routinely indulges in
The pope is a ludicrous figure worthy only if ridicule
