Pardon my Schadenfreude. The entire Protestant world is covered with the barbs of contempt thrown at them for not accepting the pope, and now Catholics are boo-hooing over him?

Well be careful, ya'll. Parse them words, hone them explanations, thread those hermeneutic needles and don't screw up - or you might just end up in...

...The Protestant Zone.

Those of us Catholics who survived John XXIII and Paul VI and “the spirit” of Vatican II can probably suffer through a few years of Pope Chatty Frankie with our Faith intact. Perhaps he is a punishment from the Holy Ghost to remind us to be better Catholics and thus deserve a next pope who is a worthy successor to Saint John Paul II.

All popes are different, some are better than others. They lead the Church which Our Lord left to us. We may complain about our leadership but we will never leave because we know and understand our history. We will be faithful to the end because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Not a chance. If the Catholics are wrong, then all Christians are wrong, and I won't become a Protestant, I'll become an agnostic or an atheist.
