Benedict XVI
I guess I'll briefly comment on the new pope.
We're screwed for the next couple years. Ratzinger is old-school. Imagine the nuns who taught you in school. The "masturbating is a sin" type. Yep. That 's him.
I'm pretty bummed about it, all-in-all. This was a chance for the church to really move into the modern world. Instead we're moving back.
But, and hopefully this doesn't sound too terrible, he's 78 and not in the best health. 4-5 years I would guess. And then perhaps they'll be a rebound to a more liberal pope. Plus, a lot of the cardinals who voted now will be over 80 in 5 years.
Who knows?

Even he predicts a short reign.
As for those voting for him being over eighty in a few years, well . . .he gets to make as many as he wants in the mean time.
And if the Holy Ghost says he's the man for the job, who are we to disagree?
Shit, good point. I hadn't thought of that.
Head, you appear to be MIA. ¿Donde, senor?
