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.

Agreed. The more people actually question things and think about them themselves, the better.

Thank you for putting a positive spin on things. :)

Likely true in the civlized world. In the US, far too many people will hail him as an excellent choice :(

Cant`t agree on worst pope ever - hes German so at least hes organised , lol. On a more serious note many of my German (catholic) colleagues and friends are annoyed at this Nazi rubbish from his past being dragged up. Every boy at that time was "encouraged" to join the Hitler Youth. It means nothing. As it happens one of the partners at my firm was also a member and has a few interesting stories to tell.
Also since he is already 78 , I don`t think he's going to be here that long anyway and then we will have to go through the same shit all over again.
