Pope Benedict went on his vatication and now there is a new pope.
The new pope chose a name that might or might not sound a little girly. But no one can argue with him, due to his papal infallibility. Which has got to be pretty sweet!
All this change in leadership has me thinking about one thing: what would I do if I were pope?
1) Take the ACT over again. If the pope is infallible in church doctrine, it wouldn't hurt to see if it couldn't improve the old standardized test scores.
2) Doctrinally declare the movie Rudy better than Facing the Giants.
3) Proclaim Red Lobster and Captain D's the hottest hangout spots on Fridays during Lent.
4) Change the official language from Latin to Pig Latin.
5) I wouldn't touch the Swiss Guard's uniforms. They almost spell "swag". The design would be on my workout clothes.
6) Change my cassock from white to a darker color that wouldn't show stains.
7) Would write the most read blog in the entire world (a following of 1.2 billion couldn't hurt blog traffic).
8) Ride through a McDonald's drive-thru in the popemobile.
9) I would always wear the ceremonial hat to make me taller than everyone else.
10) Gather a really cool posse of famous Catholics. Like Jim Caviezel (the guy who played Jesus), Nicole Kidman, and Bono (well, Bono is kind of Catholic). This would give me additional street cred.
