Just the direction the Catholic Church needed to make itself increasingly obsolete???dante said:
Snippets:
He deserted the German army towards the end of the war and was briefly held as a prisoner of war by the Allies in 1945.
His supporters say his experiences under the Nazi regime convinced him that the Church had to stand up for truth and freedom.
Cardinal Ratzinger's conservative, traditionalist views were intensified by his experiences during the liberal 1960s.
Still, he is 78 so St. Peter will probably be checking his name against the list soon enough.

What do you expect from a Medevil way of thinking some 500+ years later.........Westy said:
Oh and the Hitler youth thing (if it's true) will go along way to normalizing relations with the Jews (God's chosen people per the Bible)...........NOT
Off topic, but just a comment to insert here, how in the heck did that myth St. Peter "lets you in heaven" get started?fluff said:
It is true:Andyman_1970 said:
At the age of 14, he joined the Hitler Youth, as was required of young Germans of the time, but was not an enthusiastic member.
But given that it was compulsory it is pretty much meaningless.
How d'you know it's a myth??? Eh???Andyman_1970 said:
Medevil. Catholic Church is the remains of the Roman Empire, I thing they were very pre-Medevil.Andyman_1970 said:
wait.. i heard on the news that he was a soldier on WWII, and was part of an anti-aircraft division for the reich or something like that.....
the PANZER-POPE!!!

I was wondering what medevil meant. Is that how you guys spell it in the US?
A Panzer was a tank....ALEXIS_DH said:
He could be the ak-ak pontiff.

yeah i know.. but "panzer" reminds me of anything wwii axis...
the panzerkampfpope!!! (sp?)
plus they also said in the news he was part of an anti-tank division as well..
Yeah. He had to shoot at any flying tanks...ALEXIS_DH said:plus they also said in the news he was part of an anti-tank division as well..
Amongst the congratulatory messages:
JURANDIR ARAUJ, NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BRAZILIAN BISHOPS
It seems that he is too conservative. Hopefully the Holy Spirit can help him change. We expected a person like John Paul. Somebody who could give the Church alternatives ... open the Church to the world, look more at reality.
Nice one Jurandir!

The big question is; will he let priests molest little boys like all the rest of the popes have?
Pope John Paul II molested little boys?El Jefe said:
Is this why I get the impression the molestation scandal has little impact abroad? I'd almost assume the Vatican PR department would be making coffee and working nights and evenings to make sure the problem didn't escalate.BSEVEER said:
Anyway, I think it's safe to say the new Pope has his work cutout.
The Catholic church as it operates today, and the doctrines it holds were ratified at the council of Trent (from what I remember) in the 1400's - it has essentially not changed since then in doctrine or basic operation so thus I refer to it as a medieval (thanks Fluff) system. In the 1400 years prior to the council of Trent the Catholic chruch went through several iterations if you will - and thus bears little resembalence to the early church (pre 328 AD).Westy said:Medevil.

For one my "manual" makes no mention that being the head bouncer is Peter's job.................LOLfluff said:

His nicknames include "Der Panzercardinal" and "God's Rottweiler", according to discovery.com.
Great. Simply...peachy.

Bingo!!! When the Molestation scandal first started , they went to the Vatican to ask for help, and were told to take care of it them slev, then when the american $$$ stopped ( or were slowed quite a bit ) then the Vatican got involved. It still just all boils down to Money!reflux said:

And some people think that if it doesn't liberalize itself it will fade into obscurity... well... maybe in another 600 or so years.
Yes, because ****ing little boys isn't a problem in the Catholic Church, it appears to be a creation of the liberal media:El Jefe said:

I hope this asshat stays alive for a long time. He's all of the fire and brimstone and stupidity of the last pope without the empathy and charisma.
Do you get the feeling that this whole "transition Pope" thing is a scheme to bring in more $$? I mean - I've never seen so many cars parked at the local Catholic church than when JP-II was gravely ill/dying. I'll bet they saw a *HUGE* bump in donations during the last month or so..........splat said:
Elect a 78-y.o. Pope and maybe they can repeat the whole thing in the next 5 or 10 years.
Am I being a pessimist about all this??
-S.S.-
i think its a bit offensive to mankind, that the catholic church elected an ex-nazi soldier as its maximum authority... (regardless it was compulsory of not)...

as far as the whole molestation thing goes...
with all the frivilous lawsuits that occur in the united states, why would anyone care about this? Where it did occur, it's a terrible thing, but I'd wager that some people were jumping on the bandwagon.

I wonder just how long it will take for liberals to figure out that no one cares what they think about anything...

Let me clarify this for you:Sandwich said:
Priests ****ing altar boys' pink little assholes. Then bishops moving said priests around before too many complaints happen at one place. After all, you don't want Sally Catholic to think that the guy who hears confession is working on her son's genitals in a way that would make Michael Jackson blush.
Priest now has fresh meat to play with. Repeat.
Organization that harbors said child molesters claims to be the ultimate moral authority on the planet, while moving child molesters from place to place to place so that they can continue ****ing the assholes of altar boys.
