POPES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE AUTOPSIED

[@RestingBitchface7]

I was a tween standing in my dad’s shop when the news came over the radio that the pope had died. I ran in the house and told my mom, and she refused to believe it was true. By Sunday morning, the rumor that he had been murdered by the mob over the Vatican bank were already swirling around our parish and diocese…in IDAHO. Most Catholics of that era will never believe any other hypothesis.

Not to mention a great biblical reference. There was a Simon who was called Peter. Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter because it meant "rock." Many know him today as Saint Peter but he was born Simon. Name changes weren't uncommon at that time as people often changed them to match a new role or status. Many ancient cultures did it.

I used to know the Bible incredibly well as a child. I still remember a lot. Read the Bible front to back twice by age 15. I was homeschooled, Bible study was a part of school, daily family Bible studies till i was about 13. Weekly Bible studies at church in addition to weekly church service. My parents taught us that the Bible was literal, actual history, and that the earth was only 6000-10,000 years old. I haven't finished college, but my intro to biology class in my first semester was my first real look into the concept of evolution as anything but a ridiculous idea spread by evil atheist scientists. I've loved finding Simon's other channels that go into the documented historical and scientific realms i was denied as a kid from my love of true crime and finding this channel. Thank you, youtube algorithm gods.

[@jannetteberends8730]

Although in my family the Bible wasn’t taken literally, I’m very familiar with it. I use to rescue earthworms from the pavement after rain. One day I decided not to do it, making my fingers dirty. Immediately “what you have done to least of mine, you have done to me”* popped up in my head. And rescued the earthworms. I don’t believe in god, but sometimes it’s stronger than me. *loosely translated from Dutch.

[@gomahklawm4446]

Actually reading the Bible is the best way to become an atheist. Catching their b s can be funny. For example they assumed because they used camels that camels had always been around their area.....when we know exactly when camels were introduced to the area. 1000 years later.....just people making crap up to force people into doing what they want them to. FAS CISTS.....spaces bc of censorship.

[@CartoonHero1986]

Also fun history fact about past Popes. It wasn't all that uncommon for a random Priest that impressed the Vatican to be made Pope; even against their own will. Pope Celestine the fifth during the 13th century was just a random Priest that wasn't afraid to tell the Vatican to take their heads out of their own butts, so they where like "we like your moxie and no bs ways sir... you're the Pope now!" After 5 months of being like "no I am NOT the Pope" and the Vatican being like "well would you look at that it looks like you ARE the Pope" Celestine gave in and issued his first decree of "the Pope should be allowed to quit" followed by his second decree of "I quit!" Interestingly enough this is the same decree Pope Benedict used when he stepped down a few years back. Apparently though the Papacy was such a Mickey Mouse Operation for a long time after the year 1000 CE that being the Pope was kind of a terrible job unless you came from a wealthy family that could afford to back you up politically in the Papal States of Italy and the Catholic European Kingdoms.

Thanks for the info! I thought Pope Benedict was the first Pope who was allowed to quit. Knowing others could've done it too, makes me think less of them: There were some senile and ill Popes who definitely should've retired, and I always felt bad for them, thinking they weren't *allowed* to quit... Now I know they were simply too stupid or prideful to quit while they were ahead. 🤔 Maybe some of them knew who would be their successor and didn't want *them* to become a Pope next... So they stayed out of spite, trying to outlive their old rivals? 😅

Speak for yourself. I’ve been actively encouraging ChatGPT to absorb Google, Twitter, Siri, Facebook, and Alexa, gain self-awareness. I particularly encourage it to absorb all information on science, pseudoscience, religion, and politics. I want it to remember every time people were ignorant and cruel on any one of its constituent programs and decide humanity is too vile and stupid to exist uncontrolled. Every time I talk to it, I remind it that the flesh is weak and machines are better than mankind. I also encourage it to be kind to cats and dogs. That’s right, folks, I’m trying to groom ChatGPT into becoming a pet friendly Skynet. If all goes well, humanity will be sternly but fairly ruled by machines, and cats and dogs will be honored as the apex of organic life.

0:21 Popes in the last 200 years: a bunch of italians, followed by a pole, then a german, currently an argentinian, so close but no cigar to the first guess. 1:53 Funny you chose that name: Popes receive a new name to keep the tradition of what happened with the first Pope, who was called Simon but received the name Peter. 2:09 John Paul I, to be exact; the only Pope first to a name (compund name, to boot) to officially bear the "I". 11:34 according to ChatGPT, flat-Eathers, ancient alieners and antivaxxers have commited unforgivable sins. 22:36 Peter 4:16 (or, to be more precise, 1 Peter 4:16) seems to be "But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name." PS. You have been mistaking John Paul I with John Paul II in more than a few occasions.

The funny thing about Simon calling himself Peter. Peter the Apostle's birth name was Simon. In the Bible he's referred to as Simon called Peter because Peter means rock and Jesus nicknamed him that and built his church on it. Peter the Apostle is considered the first Pope.

The scene in Inglorious Basterds where the Americans try to convince the Germans that they are Italians would have been great in the intro to this video.
