This coming after the wonderful example of Pope John Paul II, now St. John Paul II, and his example of persevering despite his failing health. Then when the Cardinals elect a socialist from Argentina alarms went off in my head. I am sick of what this impostor is doing to my church.

It's a little better than a Dee, and a little worse than a Bee.

Personally, I'm more inclined to give him an Eff, as in "Holy Eff, WTF?"
