What's even weirder is how the current pope came to power. Pope benedict before him stepped down for "health reasons" but if you look him up, he is still playing the role of pope. He's even been quoted to say that the catholic church is a sinking ship.
Did you see that story about the US plane over the black see (to the west of Khazaria) that had a close call with a Russian plane today? What are we doing over there?
