It was said on Sky News a few minutes ago that the new Holy Father won the Saint Benedict Award for Life and the Family.

Lead the Church in the fight against evil? You could hardly do better.

Regards, Ivan

Why are the only ones posting in outrage over there the "lapsed" Catholics? LOL! What a bunch of dorks. Did you read, "Your Religion Means Nothing to Me?" Lovely. Just lovely.

And please pass the Lava soap and the scrub brush! I always feel like I fell in a spetic tank after visiting over there. Yuck.

It seems so, and it seems that Joseph Ratzinger may have good relations with President Bush. That makes me relieved.

"I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Air America tonight."

Of course that's available to me as I live 10 miles south of Madison, WI: "Twenty Square Miles, Surrounded by Reality."

I tuned in once and wanted to take an ice pick to my ear drums it was that bad. The voice of Randi Rhodes haunts me still, LOL!

I hear they're just going gangbusters in the ratings and capturing new markets from the Right Wingers every week! /sarcasm

Not only that, but John Paul instituted a fail-safe plan: He changed the rules so that if there is any disagreement on a candidate, the new pope can be elected by a simple majority.

...but only if two weeks of (IIRC) four-ballots-per-day voting do not produce a supermajority for a particular candidate.

Seems like that gives plenty of time for a "fail-safe plan" to fail.
