[Jack O'fagan]

When I have asked friends questions in the past sometimes they have replied with the expression 'Does the pope shit in the woods?'

I was wondering where this term came from. Is this just a standard catholic perversion like kiddy fiddling or is it based on the individual actions of one particularly poopy pontiff?

Yours enquiring,

Jack

I suppose the source of the saying means they have yet another opportunity to expose themselves to little boys.

I have been told that the pope's feces are collected and sold as relics to gullible papists.

but what i want to know is if the popes nose is clogged up, does his poo still have a p-u if nobody can smell it?

[Benedict A. Davis]

You mean I opened this thread,read it and still don't know if the pope actually relieves himself in the forest?

This is one of those 'inside' jokes that made its way to the broader public and the story behind it is well known in Vatican City.

We have been blessed over the years to have had a number of fine works of art donated to The Church or done on special commissions designed to keep struggling artists from Florence St. Petersburg afloat.

With so much art we can't even display a tenth of it in our vast and wonderful museum, it was decided that the residence of His Holiness would routinely be redecorated with some of the considerable treasure in storage.

At one point, my predecessor at the museum did the main bath in the Papal apartment with works from Shishkin.

As you can guess, this led to a few comments about the Pope and nature!

The decor has since taken on a less pastoral motif based on Altdorfer.



Bless you, my doubtful inwit,
Father Mo

Whatever the pope ever generates, spawns or issues is considered holy. I heard that Pope’s excrements are valuable relics (from Latin reliquiae, meaning "remains" or "something left behind") amongst catlics; Vatican keeps a special forest inside the gates to provide for demand of his devotees being allowed to collect the stuff occasionally; the forest is full of it.

They call it il Sacro Bosco - what means holy wood in American.

A coincidence? Not really.

[Rev. Dr. Davidson]

Of course he does. The problems come when he tries to get out of the lottery-ball pope-mobile. There is also the larger problem of finding enough unspoiled little boys to hold the golden toilet seats while the pope "sits the throne" of the vatigina.

More correctly - 'poopists'.

Daring to correct Landover's "golden child" my, you must be feeling full of it yourself.

I sense the evil influence of the cathylick Jesuits in this seeming mind twister. On the one hand, you could say if the pope found himself in the woods and in need of taking a dump would he proceed to do so. On the other hand, it could be one of those thought experiments that modern physicists are so fond of – like thinking about whether Schrödinger's cat was still alive (and would there be verifiable evidence that the pope had indeed taken a dump in the woods).

We can't leave this subject without considering the epistemological angle here, for if the pope allegedly shit in the woods and there was no one to witness the resulting smell would that cast serious doubts about whether indeed the pope did shit in the woods – or in more modern terms, does the conscious act of smelling the pope's defecation collapse the probability wave.

I detect the subtle influence of the atheists here – trying to cast doubts on whether Jesus did indeed temporarily die for our sins in order to offer human redemption. Ultimately, given the perverse proclivities of the cathylicks in general and the pope in particular, it is much easier to understand the pope's reluctance to partake in the modern convenience of indoor plumbing.

The pope is probably the only person who doesn't shit in the woods. For all I know the guy never takes a shit, ever.

The pope shits on Christ and everything He stands for. If I met that stinking papist I'd make him eat every shit he and every living wop has ever taken.
