Pfft, they'll probably have a choirboy special edition.

You're right Xabba, it is an equal opportunity offender. I should imagine most of those that these protesters protest for really don't care.

As a Catholic I myself have to admit that the current pope looks rather creepy

I'm sure kids will cry when they see him smirk or smile

It only needs a picture of him crawling upside down either on the floor or the ceiling to . . . . .make obvious. . . . .what his face tells about himself LOL

I have overestimated him massively when he entered office, thinking that what I have heared and read by him before would be examplary for the way he runs the papacy. He is capable of laser-sharp intellectual thinking, no doubt (I have read several pieces by him that clearly illustrated that - but I oversaw that he always puts it under the preassumption of that the stuff in the bible needs to be taken literal (so he explicitly said in his book about Jesus that got published when he became Pope - I even was blinded enough to buy it

). I should have known better - you do not become chief of the inquisition for just nothing.

Well, got blinded once by this guy. Will never get blinded by him again.

I also think that he must be kept unbelievably isolated from the reality outside the walls of the vatican by his staff. That way, he lives in an isolated artificial universe, and his thinking and his statements are coming from that.

I think a great deal of the upper echelons of the Church are like that. I think they long for a time when the Vatican had a great say in the politics of the nations of Europe, and they just haven't been able to move with the times. I think the current Pope wants to try and insert religion back into politics and take a more aggressive stance in the spreading of Christianity but because the top of the Church is in its own little hermetically sealed bubble, his statements only serve to further alienate people from the Church rather than to unite them under its banner.
