A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

"Is the invitatory prayed before anticipated Office of Readings" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

The people who say "don't leave Jesus because of Judas" don't seem to understand that in many cases, people haven't experienced one Judas among 12 apostles, but six Judases and five people who defend the Judases. Maybe one John among them. *Maybe.*

"For your penance, and it's going to be tremendous, absolutely tremendous, you’re going to say three Hail Marys, maybe the best Hail Marys anyone's ever said, believe me."

We humbly beseech You, O Lord, that Your immense mercy may grant to the most holy Roman Church a Pontiff who, ever pleasing to You by his devoted zeal for us, may be continually revered by Your people for the wholesome governance to the glory of Your name.

Fun fact: there have actually only been 22 popes with the name John. There was never a Pope John XX.
