Question: Can the Pope be fired?

No. The Code of Canon Law has no provision that allows a pope’s removal from office- for any reason, even poor health or psychological trauma. That’s because, according to church law, there is no higher authority than the pope: He “possesses supreme, full, immediate, and universal ordinary power in the Church, which he is always able to exercise freely.”

A pope may resign, but his resignation must be “made freely,” and Question: he doesn’t have to tender his resignation to any particular authority.

The last time that happened was in 1415, Pope Gregory XII.

PopeCan the pope face prosecution under secular law?

No. The pope is immune from prosecution under the local laws of the Vatican. It’s also a principle of customary international law that heads of state enjoy immunity from prosecution. That includes the pope, who is both the head of the church and the head of Vatican City.

Irish hooker

An Irishman was walking home late at night and sees a woman lurking in the shadows.

 ‘Twenty dollars,” she  whispers.

Paddy had never had a hooker before, but decides  what the hell, it’s only twenty bucks. So they hide in the bushes.

 They’re going at it for a couple of minutes when, all of a sudden, a light flashes on them. It’s a police officer.

 ‘What’s going on here, people?’ asks the officer. ‘I’m making love to me wife,’ the Irishman answers sounding annoyed.

 ‘Oh, I’m so sorry,’ says the cop, ‘I didn’t know.’

 ‘Well, needer did I,’ says Paddy, ’til ya shoined dat bloody light in her face!!!
