Published Date: 04 July 2008
BENEDICT XVI is to make history and become the first Pope to read a chapter of the Bible on television.
Details of the secret talks between the Vatican and state TV RAI had leaked last month but were denied at first as no agreement had been reached. However last night it was confirmed that Pope Benedict would open the six night daily series in the autumn.

Could he not have picked something a little more entertaining?
I'd be more impressed if he were to be the first Pope who actually danced like Salome on the TV-as long as he didn't fall off.

So His Holiness has become a televangelist? But without his version of Tammie Faye?

I take it he's going to read them out loud?

It would be pretty boring just watching him sitting there, with the only sound the rustle of turning pages, the occasional sniff, or eructation, and maybe slurps from a cup of tea (or glass of creme de menthe).

Big deal. So it proves that he can read; what else? Anyway, as pointed out above, which version will he be reading? I'd like to hear the bit where it says that he's the man, and the sole representative on earth of his sky god.

#15. Is that the bit that says a Catholic Pope is the head man for the sky god?

The other story is more worthy of comment...the proposed psychological tests taken by those wishing to become priests may filter out "gays" but they are unlikely to filter those who have paedophilic tendencies, who often do not see themselves as gay although they target young boys....and the tests are by no means accurate or valid....what happens if the tests reveal that the candidate has an odd psychology based on odd beliefs.....then I suppose the dogma ridden RC church would use scientific dogma to solve its staffing problems
