    Nothing. The extremely Catholic nations are the ones most apathetic about going to war are they not?

    Besides isn't there something rather unseemly about the idea of going to war over the murder of a man committed to peace?

    Then the vice pope would take over, assuming his health is still okay.

    We have Pope Benedict, who could come out of retirement until the cardinals elect Bono.

    I'd be more upset if ISIS assassinated Tom Cruise.

    He is the pope of scientology. If they did kill Tom Cruise I would imagine they would have to get their lawyers ready for the shitstorm of litigation that would follow. Oh wait, they probably do not have our system of civil legislations so I guess the OT10s would have to get all their mental energy together and deal a decisive mental blow to ISIS. They can crush cocroaches with their minds, ya know.

    IIRC, back when Scientology was an outgrowth of that militant drug rehab group (can't remember the name) they maintained a pretty strong group of thugs and irregular military people.

    I remember in the 70s a network news crew running afoul of several large trucks of them and they had to run like hell.

    Wouldn't a nation that is apathetic about going to war be like, "Eh...why not?"

    I do believe the name you are looking for is narcanon, and they had alanon also. So instead of telling drug addicts and alcoholics that jesus will save you from the sauce they ended up telling them that all of their problems were caused by body thetans stuck to them by xenu in the last galactic genocide. and for just however much money you can get your hands on they can eliminate those nasty aliens and then you can be clear and sign your soul away for a billion years. All I wonder is given the choice betweeen that and being saved by a zombie made of stale crackers and wine I am going to chose drugs because obviously the people who do those rehab programs are already on them.

    Don't tell me to not do drugs and then tell me all about how xenu is being held in a volcano in hawaii by lasers with eternal batteries while LRH is trying to free us all from little spiritual amoebas that were jammed into my body by atom bombs. I know a god damned halucination when I hear one, and don't you christians laugh either, because if you walk through the desert for 40 or so years you are bound to see a burning bush or two either because of some odd plant or animal you licked or ate, or because of sun poisoning.

    I'm rather amazed no one within the Vatican has tried to poison him yet.

    There would be a stampede to find the next best mindless show to air. Probably wouldn't take too long. It's fairly easy to please people these days.

    One, we don't know that; and two, there are other ways to render him ineffective, and those seem to be working quite well.

    If ISIS manage to pull off killing the pope........

    Yeah I'm at a loss of what the world would do. Certainly there would be outrage but I can't see anyone arming up and going on a revenge rampage mission. Not even Italy.

    Certainly true. The Medicis no longer control the Vatican...or have they simply changed their name? :spanishinquisition:

    I think they call themselves the Red Cross/Red Crescent now. The Vatican didn't really need them on staff once health care improved and antibiotics became widely available.

    The Pope is just a man. Kill this one, another one follows until there is no Catholic male left.

    They seem to be more after symbols. So an attack on St. Peter's when it's full of people would be more their style. Wednesdays is public audience day in the Vatican and it's usually full.
