Schaudenfreud is a sin. The Pope, being of German origin, probably knows this better than others. I doubt that he and his closest followers are tap dancing on tables over other's misery. It's not like charity to snub "losers".

My beef is with the Evil One. He's the real loser. But the most we can do against such a supernatural is reject the father of lies.

We must jealously pursue all other mortals (with the Divine jealousy that God has for our souls Exodus 20:4-5).

You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;
5
(2) you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their fathers' wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation;

2 [5] Jealous: demanding exclusive allegiance, such as a wife must have for her husband.

Oh please

What Benedict XVI is doing, beginning to clean out the church, is not schadenfreude it is leading the church in the teachings of Christ.

For you to suggest that it is, is a bit disingenuous of you.
