I know, Friday’s\u00a0answer time at the ManFAQ<\/a>, and I missed it.\u00a0 I was busy doing manly things, honest.\u00a0\u00a0Anyway, once again\u00a0I don my manly mantle as Sage of the Sexes, helping demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler, as we add to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years.\u00a0\u00a0Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man.\u00a0 Like the man said, “What could go wrong?”<\/p>\n

\n

Question:\u00a0<\/strong> Why is the Pope always a guy<\/em>?\u00a0 Don’t you think\u00a0they’d have figured out by now that a woman would\u00a0do a better job?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0<\/strong> Issues with the Catholic Church letting women be priests aside, since we know the “strict” answer to the question, let me tell you this.\u00a0 The Pope is supposed to be the voice of God on earth, the vicar of Christ Almighty, and the right hand man of the lord.\u00a0 He’s the one with the hotline to heaven, with his finger on the ineffable pulse and\u00a0the\u00a0Holy Spirit on speeddial.\u00a0 He’s the only subscriber to the Almighty\u00a0Twitter feed, with the angels, all the saints, and the heavenly hosts\u00a0on his Facebook friends list.<\/p>\n

The Pope is a guy because the church doesn’t trust a women not to let slip to the boss how badly we’ve screwed up.\u00a0 They keep electing men to the position because they’re confidant\u00a0that a dude will keep “kind of forgetting” to bring up the whole bit about clergy abuse, or the fact that they haven’t let women be priests for 2000 years, or\u00a0all that Inquisition business, when\u00a0the\u00a0boss checks in every week.\u00a0 We’ve got Papal monthly reports that\u00a0go back more than 1500 years, and they’re all\u00a0pretty much,\u00a0“Yep, doing OK here, let me know if you need\u00a0help with anything up there.”<\/p>\n

A women would change things too much for their liking.<\/p>\n
