POPE LIES PROSTRATE BEFORE RADICAL ISLAMISTS
ASKS FORGIVENESS
PROMISES TO NEVER QUOTE MEDIEVAL TEXTS AGAIN
(or the Bible)
Offers to convert to Islam if he can continue to wear his Pontiff costume
--Says if he is forgiven he will help destroy Israel--
Promises to turn over the name and address of every Christian
Also says he will fly commercial airliners into buildings if asked
Also promises to mount machine gun on Popemobile to kill
American tourists near Vatican

Here's a Pope who doesn't mind sharing his opinion that the Iraq War is unjust. Not that anyone asked him. But he can't stand a little healthy displeasure from the RoP crowd. Stand up like a man, Pope! Stick to your guns--don't apologize.
