Isn't this the man who made a rather pointed comment about the MSM that they considered a liability? Or was that someone else? Of all the people circulated for Pope that was the only one that grabbed my eye.

Best Wishes to Catholics on your new Pope. The idea of a German Pope seems right at this time.

I'm curious, what is the truth there. I don't like the idea that he fought for the Germans when we just had a Pope who was persecuted by them.

"...one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

That is hysterical... definitely using that one.

I'm not surprised at this turn of events, since Ratzinger had a few things in his favor going into this conclave (his age, his personal connection to Pope John Paul II, and his stature within the Vatican). What is being overlooked here is that we have now had two consecutive non-Italian popes -- which means that the papacy is clearly seen as more of an international institution than it once was.

It didn't take long for DU...

The 3rd post accused the Pope a Nazi.

I hope this energizes catholics to vote conservative in upcoming elections.

Either that, or it will confirm for the Catholic liberals that John Paul II was NOT an aberration.
