Pet peeve: I hate the way Magister uses the words "Ratzinger" and "Benedict XVI" interchangeably. He's the Pope now. Calling him "Ratzinger" is no more appropriate than calling the previous Pope "Wojtyla".

It's a sign of disrespect (usually) utilized by sedevacantists and virulent anti-Catholics.

It's because "Ratzinger" is easier to spell than "Wojtyla". If we start refering him as Pope "B16", then others wouldn't have a problem with spelling. For example, we all know who we refer to with "Pope JP2".

Please don't take what I said too seriously. ;-)
