1981 & 2005 Two Interesting Years

I was a little boy in Catholic school in the 1980s...I think John Paul II was alive and well in 1981 and he ascended the Papacy in the late 1970s. Oh well.

Well, I didn't "Snopes" it. I figures if it was wrong, somone would let me know. I did think it was funny though.

He got shot in 1981 though - so the warning if Charles gets married would still stand!
