Worst Pope Ever

I'm actually pretty pleased in some ways - by moving, in many ways, even further in a conservative direction the church has made it more likely that it will lose members in the west, and possibly even provoke a schism.

Weird, I heard something saying they couldn't be prisets and thought I'd got it wrong. How strange. Fair enough then. But, erm, yeah, they're still horrible sexist.

And the Pope preached against the Iraq war repeatedly.
I didn't say he'd done nothing of value, however what he said/encouraged/did that was detrimental more than outweighs his good points in my opinion.


I'd also like to point out that while Hitler invented the VW Beetle and was apparently quite nice to his secretaries his bad points outweigh that.
