Also, I'd rather see a pope that was more progressive on the issues, and was willing to take the Catholic faith to the 21st century. John Paul II, may he rest in peace.

He was a Hitler Youth for a little bit in Germany when he was 12 or something because it was mandatory. My grandfather was forced into the Nazi army when they conquered Hungary, does that make him an anti-semitic Nazi too? Oh gimmie a break Oren.

He was once a nazi supporter. Wouldn't be surprised if he issued a few blood libels. This new pope is anti-semitic. He was once a nazi supporter.

I don't think the charitable approach is the effective way to do that. John Paul II's strong opposition to Communism and such was good though. Ratzinger serves neither the charitable nor the economic freedom approach to the concerns of today's Catholic world. The conclave saw the pressing question of our time as one of ideology. I think Francis Arinze would have been a much better alternative. Benedict may not last all that long however, considering how frail he looks.

I was rooting for the archbishop of Tegucigalpa, in Honduras, or someone Latin American, but it didn't seem.... and the other option was Cardinal Sodano (Secretary of State of Vatican City)... while I liked the idea of a Spaniard, even Ratzinger is better than a hard line Franquist, and personal friend of Augusto Pinochet (who interceded to avoid his extradition to Spain).
