Wow, what a WASPy choice for a Catholic Pope.

But maybe he'll be OK, you never know. I would have liked to see an African or Latin American one though.

Pope Ratzi the Nazi I speaks out:

quote:
On Monday, Ratzinger, who was the powerful dean of the College of Cardinals, used his homily at the Mass dedicated to electing the next pope to warn the faithful about tendencies that he considered dangers to the faith: sects, ideologies like Marxism, liberalism, atheism, agnosticism and relativism — the ideology that there are no absolute truths.


Sounds like the last guy, actually.

Fantastic. Marvelous. The new pope is the former chief of the Holy Inquisition (today known as "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"). Just what the HRC needed.

atheism and agnosticism is not really an ideology. more of a cosmotheory. or rather a creed into themselves. like believing

Hmm. I was kind of hoping they'd appoint the cardinal from Nigeria as the next Pope, or one of the cardinals from Central or South America.

Any of those appointments, IMO, could really have made an impression on the world (especially since it's those parts of the world where Catholicism is at least seeing some prosperity). With the ascent of Pope Benedict XVI, I really think the Church will be sticking with the status quo — although that might not last long, as he's 78 and surely will be lucky to be in the papacy for 10 years, let alone 26 years.

One of my co-workers said this guy will be the last pope. Something about the endtimes and Saint Malachi. Heh. I guess only time will tell.

Ratzi the Nazi? Adolph I? some of you are seriously out of their minds.

I don't mind any fvcking about the church or anything I'm not one of the lot, but I feel slightly offended by some people's reaction, how anything German with power is automatically Nazi. there've been Germans in the IWF etc, were they all nazis to you? but then they had a lot less press than this guy

Tired of ads?

I for one think it's a great choice. First a Pole, then a German, isn't it obvious they will have to pick either Monk, Adagio or me next time.

I likes them odds.

Although Monk may have a rather unfair head start on us...
