The Black Pope part 8: does the holysee recognise term limits?

let sleeping dogs lie son, we are also not limited by terms,

In the last serie we ended on my diplomatic randezvous, but then this ugandan son of mine who is not yet a prince, the vatican secretary of state Yusuf, called him cyprian, he is raising alot of dust in that country.he is asking a president to leave power.how do i know he wont be asking me to put term limits here in rome too? I’m begginning to worry about these young turks in african,thats why i haven’t appointed any african cardinal this year, they are too honest and know nothing about reality and pragmatism, something our european brothers are naturals at. Now i’m failing to push my changes through the college of cardinals because the greyheads stil outnumber my allies.
Then yusuf also asked if i could intervene in syria,but under what moral authority when my priests are still abusing boys in abbeys around the world, nuns are keeping adoption homes well suplied,i ask? And after carefully considering my point, he says.may be this celibacy thing is what i should go for next.and the nextday i was in my office putting final touches to what would be a new order in priesthood, priests would be required to join jose maria’s radicals in opus dei, for 5years ofcourse these would never think to do anything unless told by the general that the lord is behind it. Five years in opus dei is a long time, you cant really have humanly feelings after living and slaving 5years for God this was a guarantee that the next generation of priests like the wahabis in saudi arabia and other arab lands, would be willing to kill and die for God. I wasnt sure this was a nice thing, the next pope after me would tell me in heaven,but atleast it would take the sex scandals back to the politicians and keep them away from my church, as for my kampala son, think ill let him test his power,over the kampala catholic faithful in those free falling numbers and that Anglican president.

The Black pope part 7: Bare knuckles.

walking with his assistants…..i would remove such indulgences

i ended on a very important question. Is it me the outsider who has brought people back into church who is destroying rome or is it the cardinals who write off people by their addresses?
In a bid to remove st peter’s heir (me obviously) from his throne, the cardinals in rome want to lead religion through snobbery but i wont let them. So to move away from tradition, all cardinals must spend more time with there flock and less time in rome, because in rome they spend more time politiking and less playing shepherd to the goodlord’s flock…..there is that man with whom we ploughed the bishops plantation in masaka, cardinal wamala,il keep him here maybe with time he will see that i do not seek to destroy rome but im just rebranding her into a pro, people organisation whose goal is having more of the lords flock come, as world politics for the first time in our history is made to come after our main purpose and goal.
The next morning i notified all cardinals of my decision, and i realised how much they preffered the luxuries in rome to the actual pastoring which had been left to the bishops.

The black pope: look up to them, they will not disapoint you.

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers,the playwrights, and everyday writers to articulate, what most of us can only feel in joy, and in sorrow, they illuminate the thoughts for which we can only grope, they give us the strength we can not find in ourselves, whenever you feel your courage waivering, rush to them, they will give you the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on, all you gotta do is listen, read and lookout for their voices

The Black Pope: part 6.: ON THE FLIGHT TO RIYADH

the pope gives a speech on condoms on a flight

In the hearts of over one billion catholic faithful, lies an outsider at the helm of Rome, whose journey to Rome,does not include the grandeur of European monasteries, but the simplicity of the farms in a Masaka monastery. In part 5,there was consipiracy in Rome and i was still negotiating with the saudis to let me in on my Terms,which actually didnt happen and eventually i decided to come here on their terms. On my team to saudi arabia, my chief of staff cardinal Brian Okanya was to stay in Rome since i needed somebody at home just to keep my rebels at Bay, those men who dare question the lord Gods regent on earth,st peter’s undemocratically elected Heir how can they? So on the flight to riyad i take my secretary of state sheikh yusuf a very important PR machine in Romes p.r game of saving face, he was not only a muslim representing a catholic establishment, he also knew when to talk,push or shove, this was what those rebelious cardinals who refused to look beyond his religion did not see.as for me,i was not going to play the Roman game of religion in politics, i know that things to do with God are always oneway, and politics can nolonger be one way in this world of facebook (im thinking of opening a facebook Acc as pope gregory pius clement 1). I will not do as the Romans do in rome, i refuse to. At the start of my pastoral career, i promised to be a pope of firsts, and i wont deviate. The fourth hourly review of rome from my chief of staff has just come in,and thats when i realise that these losers are not just ready to raise their hand against peter’s heir, they will defy logic, i mean how do you expect to collect signatures to dethrone a pope who rules by decree? Still led by election oponents, the cardinals badly want me out though i have brought our faithful back into the cathedrals. Meanwhile we hav arrived at king faisal,and 2keep with john paul’s tradition, i kiss the ground. Now who says i want to destroy Roman traditions?

The Black pope: part 5. What does the chief kaffir want in our mosques?

we ended when i was living jordan, and those sods in my own backyard were plotting to force out the first african to st peters throne, the holyfather gregory pius clement 1 me? a man after my big heart.
On my flight out of jordan,i had noted down,something, it was about israel’s exposure during the arab awakening, where arab nationalism run high, and even saw the two palestenian groups make peace. So at d start of lastweek as i sat in my holiday home outside Rome, secretary of state Sheikh Yusuf again talked of us going to saudi Arabia, saying the king as guardian of the holy mosques needed to be a high priority as i search elsewhere for the support i have failed to get here in Rome, yusuf also proposed visiting the holy mosques, however the story leaked to the media before it could even be scheduled. One radical muslim Newspaper ran with a Headline, ‘WHAT DOES THE KING OF THE KAFFIRS WANT FROM US?’ to the conspiracy theorists, they said this confirmed their story that rome started islam to conquer for her Jerusalem but the Generals realised there power and rebbelled. Anyway the diplomatic offensive began via US, since we have none with the saudis, but they all wanted to know what i wanted in there country during the time of Osama’s assasination,and the jasmine revolutions in arabia. I told them i come in peace and another offer to bridge the gap between islam and Rome, however on the point of Holy mosque, it was a no go. So i was allowed into saudi Arabia on a technicality but not because i was sovereign in Rome,i would look at the Domes and nothing else, however in rome the timetable and list of my crimes grows, so does the thickness of the conspiracy,

The Black Pope Part4: conspiracy in Rome,the pope in jordan.

Jordan’s King Abdullah pauses during a news conference

In st peters on peters throne itself has risen a man of truth and the people,the black pope is the story of pope gregory pius clement 1 the first african pope.

Right across the border from israeli lies wat up until nw people around the world called the boring heshmite kingdom of jordan,led by king abdallah! Mek no mistake the ongoing riots in the capital are not against me,they against abdallahs pro western gov’t that has sidelined palestine.
My arrival is not well recieved in some circles,who r asking why im visiting dictatorial states! Saying i might as well declare them legitmate,but with a muslim sheikh yusuf as secretary of state,i sure have got more leverage in the middle east than any other of st peter wil or has ever had!
Meanwhile in rome,disgruntled cardinals are in a meeting discussimg how to rid the church of my leadership,me a pope they now describe as a cancer in there midst. Most vocal of them al is the former secretary of state,now head of the college of cardinals who i defeated to become pope they all seem to agree with each other that my whole agenda is just populist and has no end game in favour of the vatican.
But in jordan a meeting between me and king abdallah ends where i cautioned him to make some reforms and look more to both his western and israeli allies,as wells as his arab brothers more especially the palestinian cause….. Which has not only increased his nations population courtery of palestinian refugeesand given his country a resounding middle class composed of mainly palestinian businessmen,that is boosting jordanian growth and development….of course thats a plus,though i am begining to think thats the reason he wont help them get back there homeland.
Despite the fact that he has his friend mubarak as an example…

The Black Pope part 3: The sheikh at cross roads

On the flight to the Holy Land,i was taken through the current politics of the middle east and by the time the plane touched down at tel aviv the capital of israeli,i was an expert analyst on middle eastern affairs. At tel aviv i was met with protests from victims of the Holocast who want an apology from ROME,for pius’s silence during the time,and where wondering why i had chosen to put the name pius in my title name pope gregory pius clement 1, but that was my secret! I liked reading there placards though, they seemed to have only they didnt knw how to ask for what belonged to them,these things where not asked for or given on the streets,they were given in secret night meetings with threats blackmail and concessions as part of the give and take,the israeli primeminister also a staunch believer in the jewish state or zionism,also seemed uncomfortable with me being in israel,but after all formalities,i embarked on my tour of jerusalem, and this is when i realised i had four women in my entourage,on further inquiry i realised they were in accordance with muslim tradition,the four wives of my secretary of state sheikh yusuf and he had invited them also on pilgrimage to the holy mosque as i went into the church,i then realised,this city jerusalem was and is important to us all,the jews muslims,and the christians,but after this scenario some cardinals in my entourage came to me with an offer.they would support yusuf in Rome and all my other policies,if i let priests marry like i was doing for the anglican clergy who were joining the church! I told them id thnk about it after israel,but when i discussed it with brian my chief of staff,he said no, because next it will be the homosexuals,those for abortion, and others. Every thing will go crazy,and rome might not remain standing he said! As we stepped off the flight in jordan!

The Black pope: part 2 The confession box.

how could i say no to search a soul’s prayer

In part one we ended with the apointment of a cabinet,that also included a first the first muslim to work in the heighest echelons of the vatican and as i had promised my faithful,i was going to be a pope of firsts and that was just a start. Oh and by the way since the announcement came out that the church had gregory pius clement as holy see, the phone has not stopped ringing,nd the postman has not had a rest,my first call actually came from the american president congratulating me, and in his own words asking me what the hell i was doing apointing a sheikh as my secretary of state? I told him it was all part of my politics. My first letter was from a six year old girl called rita in uganda,she thanked God for me, then asked me to ask God to cool her parents so they let her marry her frend tommy who sings roll the boat with her in class! The following day. I replied ritas letter and told ha to wait because i wanted to marry them myself. Ofcourse i was to take 15years of preparation! From that one came the time everybody was waiting for the confession box! And our new celebrity convert tony blair was the one i was to see first, töny talked alot,he talked abt his successor gordon,the u.k and its church,then we came to iraq,he told me he lied to the world,sadam had none these weapons because we and the americans gave him everything he had! He said. And as he walked of there,i knew onething i did not need an inteligence team becoz in this confessiön box, you get all that you need. And everytime i was to need a favour from tony i wld jst remind him in private dat he waged an illegal war simple and id get all the favours! But as im stil enjoying my moment of enlightenment sheikh yusuf the secretary of state suggests the city of three religions should be the first place the heir of peter visits on pilgrimage.

The Black pope: part 1: Democracy in st Peters square!

st peter’s square where the faithfull witness there new pope

I hear The sound of the gong in the square,meaning the pope is dead,the holy father has bid farewell to his children and gone to meet his maker, but to me this is the start of my long awaited dream of becoming the first african pope,so i put on my cassock and head to the college of cardinals to start off the political activity that wil make me,pope,wit 159 cardinals on my side, i need a few more cardinals nd i am pope,the politiking continues, by morning,white smoke is realeased signaling to the roman catholic faithful that they have a new HolyFather. Me! ,and my name has to change,iv chosen three names off d old popes. Il be pope Gregory pius clement 1. Gregory coz he was a warrior pope, pius coz he ignored the nazi holocast against jews, and clement coz he died few weeks into his reign. After being declared pope gregory pius clement 1,books i wrote as cardinal collins hinamundi have become instant best sellers,yet i never sold a copy as cardinal,the world is curious about this black pope, the business of the church has began,i go out önto the balcony overlooking st peters square to wave to some of d church’s 1.5 billion faithful who dont even know how there pope is elected. How undemocratic! Now its time to select my cabinet,and as my chief of staff,i select bishop okanya bryan of uganda. And as my secretary of state or foreign secretary i choose wait for this…. Yusuf mukama. Yes a muslim. And d cabinet follows with the usual posts nd im done, i am now the worlds most powerful man, i am the pope.
