Is there a 2nd type of german leader?

YAWN. I'm so over this Pope business.
I know that the Ratzing...er...Benedict 16 Nazi Youth story is all the rage in the press right now, but c'mon people, he's a big shot in the Cath-o-lic church!!! Heeelllooooo! Oppress and shame much?
- Is this news a surprise? I certainly don't "follow" the personal histories of Catholic Cardinals, but this can't be the first time this has been reported.
- Does anyone really care? This guy has made his opinions on all the Big Hot Button Issues known for quite some time. I don't agree with him on any of them. (I'm also not Catholic.) You probably don't either. Nor, I'd wager, do an alarming percentage* of his flock.
- Besides, he's 78. He'll probably kick it soon anyway.
Sidenote: When you become a Cardinal, do you have to take some class to learn how to make Pope-y Hand Gestures To Large Cow-Eyed Huddled Masses?
* to Benny, as I'll now refer to him

"Oooh, the Germans are mad at me... I'm so scared! Oooooh, the Germans... Uh oh..."
"Stop it... stop it, mr. burns!"
"The Germans are coming after me... Oh, don't let the Germans come after me... Oh, the Germans are coming after me... No, they're so big and strong... Protect me from the Germans! The Germans!"
Ah, hell, goody luck, B16... you are gonna need it, I'm sure you've heard that old quote about not following animal acts and poles...

I sympathize with your opinions on the new pontiff and the predictions of an ultra-conservative papacy. But please remember we are in the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY NOW.
