I think I like this Pope.. He has some quality I like I cannot define.. Maybe he loves ONLY scripture.. or knows his garments are meaningless... or knows that Roman Catholism is a denomination.. or something like that..

Course I could be WRONG about all that.. I would like to think that there is something redeemable about him.. There could be you know.., I know maybe he likes Father Guiedo Sarduci's act(SNL).. that would show he not humor deprived..

Yeah, I think I will continue to like him.. Which means I will pray for him..

I will get our very own Dr. eckleburg to pass this message along. this is in fact Pope Lawrence of Suburbia, I think Glendale, but maybe Pasadena, that sounds more Italian.

Praying for and liking are two different things. 8~)

Ratzinger was known as "the pope's rottweiler," "the Enforcer," before he ascended to the papacy. He was in charge of maintaining Roman Catholic doctrine according to the Council of Trent which he happily re-affirmed.

He was also in charge of "investigating" decades of sexual abuses rampant in the RCC. Entire generations were born and died before he got around to being forced into admitting that "Rome, we have a problem."

He was also the pope who most recently declared that all Protestant churches are "defective."

Sorry, I do not think we are instructed by God to respect men who call themselves "another Christ" and who tell the world they are the head of God's church on earth and that they are "infallible" in matters of religion.

There are other names for men who make those errors. I think 1000Silverlings mentioned a few of them.

It doesn't make you nervous at all that his prior job was as head of "The Office Of The Inquisition" er, ah "Propagation Of The Faith". (Same Office - different name).
