So you're now saying that the pope is a lefty??? Well, then he put a hell of an act when he pretended to fight Communism.(/sarcasm)
Anyway, a pope can't call for wars and the killing of people wholesale (I'm not indicting the war, BTW). He has to be a pacifist, because it's very un-Popelike to cheer war. That doesn't mean he's not condemning Islamic terrorism, but he can't call for a new Crusade. Unfortunately, that's how PC this world has become.
Ah, and had he "stuck to his gig" in the 80's, as you so smugly asked him to do, maybe the red hammer-and-sickle star would still be flying over the Kremlin, and Lech Walesa would be sleeping the eternal nap in an unmarked grave somewhere in Poland.
Finally, tell your wife not to let the door hit her on her way out. We don't need Catholics like her, anyway.
Drinkin' tonight? Don't forget to set the alarm....tomorrow is First Friday, and Mass is at 0800 - sharp!
...but he can't call for a new Crusade.
His predecessors did enough damage calling for the LAST (first) Crusades.

The operative word here is POLAND (his birth country; what a coincidence! no?) - other countries have greater and lesser problems than what Poland had and they're all pretty much still the same as they were before he got into office. Hands-up everyone who's surprised.
