1. He certainly doesn't have that feel good, grandfatherly feel that the last pope did.
He looks like a rat.

6. Impeach the Rat Pope! I went to Saint Gemma's
They had us little kids so convinced of the infallibility of the Pontiff and
all the dogma dogma.


Pedophiles are criminals. Put them in jail and get a new Pope!

7. Agreed... This crap is the last thing the church needed, but maybe the church is in its death throws
Indoctrined religion is dangerous.

12. I remember Pope John XXIII. the church just needs a leader with
a soul. It can do good. I remember him and if you ask most people who their favorite pope was, J XXIII would probably be their answer.

20. And the Ecumenical Counsel!!
We got to watch it on TV at St. Gemma's.

TV was SUCH a big deal back then.

We need a new truly true Ecumenical Counsel!

16. Actually, ALL religion is dangerous.
It's just a matter of degrees.

I agree. I remember when he first showed up, I was taken aback by the dark circles under his eyes.

10. Creepy through and through. There were accusations floating back when he was installed about
his involvement with abusive priests and protecting the criminals in the frock...

17. I think it's gonna be a while before I'm going to want to hear the words "grandfatherly feel"
and "Pope" in the same sentence.

2. I disagree. The RNC, though, is a double fuck-up.

5. With the number of people looking, and how corrupt the Church is over the issue
of protecting pedophiles, I am amazed how few comments there are.


Really makes me wonder about our community, it really does.

9. Didn't we go thru this earlier than Europe did? I remember a few years ago that there
were numerous complaints and law suits and people in the US leaving the church over the scandal.. Paying money into the church only to have it used to pay out to the children who were harmed by the bastard priests that the church protected and moved whenever a "problem" arose in the town/ city they were transferred to. Now, its hitting Europe, so they are under fire again.. It wasn't just an isolated "American" problem.. it was widespread, almost institutionalized protection of child molestors... Priests who were the trusted beacon of god, preying upon the innocent.
