This pope just creeps me out.
And that is all I have to say about that.

It's my personal opinion that he is gay, and that he's tormented by it. That's where you get the creepy vibe. He's like all those conservatives who cannot come to terms with their sexuality.

2. Something about the eyes.
Don't like the eyes. He's just a bad look for a pope. If I worked around him, I would have a major problem with his whole look. It's just bothersome. I know it's not right to judge by appearances, but I can't help it in this case. Sorry.

3. He's hiding a way bigger secret than that.
I predict bodies. Seriously, nobody can be that creepy without having sautee'd a baby or something. He's quite possibly the creepiest person on the planet. Especially when he smiles.

5. Yeah, something's going on
He also claimed he wasn't going to live more than a few months or years after his election, which was strange.

6. Yes, he does have a certain Festeristic quality, but at least with Uncle F, we knew he was mostly
harmless. However, the popester here, I think he has some bad juju hidden in the back room.

7. Well, if you routinely bathed in the blood of children, you'd seem pretty creepy too.
Give the ghoul a break, would you?!?

9. I've thought that since I first saw him
I could not (and still cannot) understand why they'd elevate this man to that status. I felt guilty for judging him based on thinking he looked creepy, but it turns out he really *is* creepy. Sometimes looks don't deceive.

19. creepy-looking or not
(and I do agree on that) he was about the worst possible choice if the Catholic Church wanted to have any chance of being seen as relevant in the 21st century. He's going to do more harm the longer he stays, IMO.

At least JPII was a genial, pleasant-looking fellow. This guy? No way.

It's his eyes and his creepy old guy smile. John Paul was so kindly looking. Benedict is just like "AAAAUGHHHH!" Exorcist type shit. I was in 11th grade when he was made the pope. We talked all about it in history class...oh, the hilarity.
