My point with Jesus' bloodline was if you believe in the scriptures (which I don't) how can the guy have a bloodline.

Matthew was writing for Greeks and Luke for Romans. Jesus' father (as much as you can have one when you were begat by a diety) was an attempt to marry the two royal houses. Joseph was the product of a couple of levirate marriages that allowed the two lines to be fused but Christ wasn't Joseph's son. Plus his mother's ancestry is that farked up it's not funny.

Which bit? I don't claim infallibility - thats the Pope's job!

Isn't that chastity?

That too. Apart from those occasions when the papacy was handed to the pontiff's son.... Laughing

I think there was a woman Pope once. Which would make a change from the old women who've run the church for a couple of thousand years.
