|  |     Does he have a birthday party and get presents...what *do* you get
    the Pope who has everything?
    
    ...do the Pope and the Cardinals wear silly party hats and play "pin the
    tail on the pontiff"?
    
    Yup, it's Friday...

|  |   And when things get really punch-happy, the pope and all of the cardinals The
Vatican Rag.

|  |     Vatican rag? I'd like to see them do one of those cardinal numbers.

| 611.12 | Happy BDay Popo John Paul | USEM::DONOVAN |  | Fri May 19 1989 16:10 | 4 | 
|  |     Instead of the host they would hand out little pieces of birthday
    cake while saying "The body and blood of Christ".

|  |     The notes .o thru .12 may have been written with casual humour
    in mind; but, to me, they came thru in a derisive and mocking
    manner.  I'm not amused.

    I am not sure but I would guess that at least one of the replies
    .0 thru .12 was written by a person of the Catholic faith. The
    Pope is a human being like the rest of us. Let's not confuse a
    little poping of fun as being an insult to one's religious views.

    I think this one needs to be closed until we can sort out how much
    levity at some religion's expense is permissable.  Let's work on
    it in 15.*
