In case you are wondering:

Romeo - From the Italian Medieval religious name meaning “pilgrim to Rome” (Late Latin Romaeus, a derivative of Roma).

Even better:

True, but who specifically I wonder? What, or who, is the next step and why?

[dangus]

That would be as opposed to someone who WAS Roman? Peter the Roman meets Paul the not Roman?

Actually there has never been any such evidence. He died or natural causes. Happens all the time.

Actually there has never been any such evidence.

He got a clean bill of health soon before his death and the fact that he was trying to clean up the Vatican banking system that had mob ties is suspicious. Let's not forget how the Vatican got their status as a county in a country. Mussolini. They were also involved with getting Nazis out to South America after the war. That is why reformers like John Paul and John Paul II made waves that upset the old school folks. There was one good thing that came from the death of John Paul. That was John Paul II taking over and was very important in defeating Communism with Lady Thacher and Ronald Reagan in the 80's. I feel he was one of the most important Pontiffs since Pope Pius X.

BXVI was the first pope I can remember being actively prayed for in LCMS churches.

you're kidding, right? wow...

No, he did not. He had a heart condition.

” and the fact that he was trying to clean up the Vatican banking system that had mob ties is suspicious.”

It was suspicious that he was doing something? No, it was not.

“Let’s not forget how the Vatican got their status as a county in a country. Mussolini.”

False. The Papal States were always a country in a series of countries. Mussolini merely ended a stand off and restored some of what always was for about 1200 years.

“They were also involved with getting Nazis out to South America after the war.”

False. A few clerics, monks, and nuns did that. The Vatican did not do that.

“That is why reformers like John Paul and John Paul II made waves that upset the old school folks.”

No, actually much of what you listed had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with either John Paul of John Paul II.

“There was one good thing that came from the death of John Paul. That was John Paul II taking over and was very important in defeating Communism with Lady Thacher and Ronald Reagan in the 80’s. I feel he was one of the most important Pontiffs since Pope Pius X.”

Okay, fine. But you need to learn about cause and effect. What you’re doing otherwise is linking together things that are unrelated as if they have something to do with one another.
