Did The Pope Predict The Current Economic Collapse 25 Years Ago
According to Italian Finance Minister, Giulio Tremonti, Pope Benedict, (who works part time as a mall Santa) actually prophecized the current financial global meltdown in a paper he wrote nearly 25 years ago:
“The prediction that an undisciplined economy would collapse by its own rules can be found” in an article written by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who became pope in April 2005, Tremonti said yesterday at Milan’s Cattolica University.
That’s not exactly Kreskinesque now, is it? I’m not even sure he predicted anything. From what I gather, he said an undisciplined economy can collapse by its own rules. It’s a bit of a stretch to extrapolate that Pope Rat actually predicted the current global recession from those words he wrote 25 years ago. If that’s what predictions have down to, then I’m Sargon the Magnificent. Hey, here’s a prediction, I’m going to go upstairs in about 6 minutes and pour myself another rye and ginger. My God, you should really burn me at the stake, I’m a freakin’ witch! Here’s another prediction, in 25 seconds I’m going to go pee. “Stop it Mayor, you’re freaking’ us out!!!”

Well, he does have a direct line to God, allegedly, so he should be able to predict the future, we expect nothing less.
Hey, Benny, who’s gonna take the Grey Cup this Sunday?

We should get a thread going on that.
I’m going with Calgary. If they lose, I’m going with Montreal.
45-38 Calgary.
What say you?

Doesn’t an undisciplined economy, by definition, lack rules?

“I’m going with Calgary. If they lose, I’m going with Montreal.”
This is true genius, Mayor! You should be in Obama’s new administration, instead of that Clinton woman.

Was Pope Benedict TRYING to look ultra-creepy in that photo?
