Well, I’ve always wondered what the Pope does when he’s not leading the masses. Does he go to restaurants? Movies? Does he move about with the people? Does he (in healthier days) go shopping? Go out with friends?
Does all his entertainment, etc. come to him? I know he’s got a big place to live, but wouldn’t that get a little monotonous after a while? Does anyone know what he does with his free time?
Being that he’s so elderly and not in good health, I wouldn’t be surprised if all his entertainment comes to him. I don’t know what he does - probably reads, maybe he has a penpal, perhaps he posts on the Straight Dope. I dunno.
I figured he was like the President: busy, busy, busy. I mean, a guy with his international profile and responsibilities has got to be rockin’, morning, noon, and night, I would think…
Me and some mates used to go round to his gaff in Rome every now and again for a few games of Unreal Tournament but to be honest we haven’t been round in ages. It just got boring after a while because he always won:
“There he is! He’s got the Flag! Shoot him!”
“I’m not shooting him!”
“Why not?!”
“He’s the fecking Pope! Its probably a sin or somethi…FECK!!”
According to his photographer: “Free time does not exist for the pope. This is the reality—prayer, work, work, prayer. Here, this is the life of the pope.”
What’s with all the reverence for the pope? He’s just a normal person. No more elevated then the homeless man on high street who shakes an empty mountain dew cup in my face saying “any lil’ bit, any lil’ bit’!”. feh.
I always heard he likes to go take shits in the woods. Nothing like a nature dump to clear your papal head. Rumor has it that if no one’s around, his shit doesn’t stink.
