They blew it.

If they had elected me I could have made them (another) fortune turning the Pope mobiles into Gellato trucks.

Already made my Pope hat to.

Ya think?

Ratzinger was a member of the Hitler Youth.

Not that he had any choice.

Strange strategy picking a 78 year old arch conservative at a time when the church is in decline in the west, in a pitched battle in much of Africa and Asia, and only creating hoards of followers in Latin America with a strange brand of Catholicism that many of us would barely recognize.

Maybe a choice by moderates to pick the "worst" conservative pope so that he can illustrate how bad the church can be --- realizing he is 78 and will only be around a short time and they can then pick up the pieces when he goes and as the church finally feels compelled to pick up the pieces of a church that will be nearly irrelevant at that time to most in the west.

He is a big deal or something...then again maybe the rest of them didn't want it. I don't think it has a lot of appeal.
