I have more than a little problem with posters not referring to the Pope in the correct fashion. Being as blatantly anti-Catholic as you are, there's no sense in referring you to any of the Catholic blobs perspectives on this since your small mind is firmly closed.
God is everywhere - what matters what direction the pope prays in - the make up of the prayer is what matters.
His name is his name. He may be your Pope, but he's not mine. E.g., Americans address Judi Dench as Judi Dench, not Dame. Her title is not recognized by our non-royal system.
I may be anti-Catholic, but only when Catholicism goes against God's word. I know and work with Catholics, and discuss many issues with them. Every sect, and every Christian, veers off from God's word on certain issues; what is small-minded is a prevailing Catholic attitude that they are not part of the greater Christian community and must submit themselves, like all other Christians, to the cause of theological unity, at the cost of sectarianism.
If you have corresponded with me at all, you know I engage on the issues and listen to all sides. So, in your own words, three short sentences, why is Ratzinger facing Mecca to pray when it is a meaningless ritual of a false religion?
And what is a blob?
