I'd wonder why it took so long. I boycotted pants long ago. We need to fight the oppression of Big Textile!

Trousers.

Trousers.
Are skirts or shorts and stuff allowed? :confused:

I'd keep wearing the pants. I'm not Catholic, and it's debatable if I even have any religious faith at all. I'll know for certain later, but right not just isn't the time for me to worry about it.

I only wear pants because of US law. I'm not Catholic, anyways.

Skirts yes, shorts no.

That's good then. I suppose kilts for the guys are okay to wear as well?

Hmm... Yes.

Also, we're assuming that due to Freedom of Religion the US at least, as well as all countries with a catholic majority are making it legal not to wear pants.

I'd keep wearing pants without underwear.

why is "not give a shit" not an option? :(
(though are we talking american pants or british pants here? doesn't affect my not-giving-a-damn either way, just curious)

Considering that 98% of all Italians are Catholic.........


And that 1 billion people in the world are Catholics..........




That's a lot of pantless people. :eek:


But what if the Pope forbade shirts too?:D

So you would wear pants anyways?

and what is the difference between American pants and British pants?

I just pictured a churchfull of people dressed in their sunday best, minus pants.

In some places pants are underpants and they mean trousers instead of pants. It gets a little confusing.

Keep wearing them. The Pope is the head of Catholicism on earth, but the ultimate authority is God, who never said anything against wearing trousers.

Ah, okay. I'm assuming the OP meant American pants, then.


What if the Pope banned underwear, too...? :eek: :D

yeah i would wear pants

and as far as i understand:
american "pants" = trousers
british pants = underwear (specifically big ones like briefs... not thongs or boxers or whatever)

I'm a Catholic that uses condoms, so it's not a big stretch to hypothetically keep wearing pants. :cool:

Are you saying you use the word trousers to describe those things we wear on our legs?
You've got it the wrong way round. Crazy southerners. :rolleyes:

You can't call a notherner soft!!!

Thanx, I needed a nap.

You're definition of pants and underpants is an American one. Are you not a Brit born and bred??? :confused:

I'm a Protestant, so the Pope can say whatever he wants, I'm not bound to that.

I'll keep my pants - but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm wearing them right now. :eek: :D :p

Interesting that a higher percentage of non catholics would give up their pants than catholics. :p
(At this moment, 0% Catholics vs. 9% of Non-Catholics)

And put on some shorts.

See, this is interesting. So far all of the Catholics that voted would defy a papal order to surrender their trousers. So therefore, apparentally papal command can be disobeyed. Kinda shoots down the contraception argument, doesn't it?

Pantsless Catholics? Suddenly I'm imagining a sort of a Night Of The Living Dead scenario, only with streets full of blank-eyed Catholics who are all nude from the waist down...

Though I suppose that the Pope does have some killer fashion sense. Any guy who can pull off those hats of his is a force to be reckoned with.
