Ash Wednesday Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I keep thinking of Benedict as a "Holy Grandfather" more than "Holy Father" ...but I mean that in a good way. I think he also happens to be pope after a very handsome, photogenic, cute-as-a-button pope, and we're used to seeing John Paul's sweet face after over 25 years... :wub: [img]http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/renewaluk/gn0309/pope.jpg[/img] Even towards the end of his life he looked cute.

Ash Wednesday Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Apr 27 2005, 09:36 AM'] hehe... I was going to comment on the media age, too. What if Peter were a creepy looking dude? I'll bet Paul was frightening to behold... but I worry about this era of choosing a polished politician and a happy looking pope rather than understanding the ideas they stand for. [/quote] Thanks HSMom :thumb: I totally want to meet a pope someday in my lifetime. It's ironic that the more the public picks on Benedict, the more I love him. He wasn't even my first choice of pope and I was nervous about his election. But have a really soft spot for underdogs. Especially scrappy German ones. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 look at the picture in my sig. I think he looks really Cool in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwyrm Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 [quote name='Colleen' date='Apr 27 2005, 05:09 PM'] I like his smile. It reminds me of my German great-grandmother's smile. [/quote] Aww! I love his smile! I think it's adorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argent_paladin Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 If some say that Benedict looks like the Emperor, I think that that last picture made JP2 look like Yoda!

Ash Wednesday Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 That's what I say when people make issue of a pope's age. Aren't old people often wiser than us? Then what is the big deal. The pope is like Yoda for Catholics. Imagine the press: "Aging Yoda's health is a concern to high Jedi Knight Officials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argent_paladin Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I think when people say that Ratzinger looks "creepy" or "scary" we should say: “When 78 years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmmm?” In the voice of Yoda, of course.

luciana Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 [quote name='voiciblanche' date='Apr 27 2005, 05:49 PM'] I don't think he looks sneaky! He does, however, look a lot like the Keebler elf... :ph34r: Ah, whatever. There's nothing sneaky about my Papa. He's cute. [/quote] Keebler, haha. My dad used to work for Keebler. He looks cute like him especially in that drawing of the photo. Did you draw that, Future Nun? That looks great. :tiphat: BTW, Hi voichi, Welcome back Amber I was gone for awhile from phatmass, too, btw Like Colleen and Ash wendesday said he has like a little old grandaparent smile. In a thread on the Pope's looks that didn't start out so ummm... respectful, I mentioned that he reminds me of my grandfather, but now that I think about it, like Colleen said about her grandmother he reminds me even more like my maternal grandma, with a little an almost shy cute smile.

It is going to be auctioned off to raise money for World Youth Day But thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
