I love john prescot!!!!!!

Probably looked a jew ;)

We don't know where the nails went, it could well have been in the hands with the ropes supporting the forearms as well. I'd always seen him depicted in white cloaths myself. Though I agree with your point, it is kinda pandering to vanity, a little bit, though protraying him as clean on the...

We don't think thet. We have joint communion with the orthadox church.

He is just about the same as the last pope, he was the person that was closest to him. He was slighly more cautious about ecumenicisum, didn't want to blur the lines of the differant faiths, but he has already pleaged to open a dialoge with other faiths so I am confident he will continue his...

I know im not the norm, and I won't really mind if I do go to my grave a virgin, better that then I throw away my chastity for no productive reason. Anyway I have faith that the Lord will guide me :).

well it was the british and europeans who then proceeded to settle in america and declare independence. (With the Native Americans at least)
