chenanceouThey chose the 265th Pope. The German got it. Ultraconservative.
What's new?
Oy vey.
Benedict XVI.
A fundamentalist in power. G'd has forsaken us.
I should go back to doing what I should be doing and forget about a more compassionate and fair world.
Edit: Why he chose the name Benedict I have no idea. Benedict XV was one of the less known Popes (basically c.WWI) and his only claim to fame was canonizing Joan D'Arc.
Edit II: I'm so fed up with people going for the easy shot with this guy. His nicknames and the Nazi stuff is so irrelevant and misrepresented by the press. Yes, the kibbutznik is telling you it's irrelevant. One of the advantages of being a mixed puppy - I get to talk all over the place. Instead of going for the easy shot, go for the jugular! Which basically is: this man has been the loud voice of ultra-conservativesfanaticos for a very very long time.
I'm not commenting anymore because I seem to live in a different universe. In my universe JPII wasn't a modernist at all, just a more populist conservative who had an interest in showing a new face of the church while sticking to the same old doctrine.
Dive. Don't wallow.
