The Final Word on Benedict XVI

This is the final entry on the new pope.

First, I forgot one of my favorite Spanish reactions.
--"Well, at least he´s old and will hopefully die soon and someone else can be pope."

Also, I thought I may have been overreacting about Nazi-German connotation, but I wasn´t. This guy was a Nazi, a full-fledged member of Hitler Youth. If the pope is supposed to be politically antagonistic and speak truth to powerful nations, it´s hard to believe anyone who was in Hitler Youth doing this.

And a Springer final thought. This guy hates the modern world, much like John Paul II did. In his homily starting the conclave he said that we´ve careened from community and family life to reckless individualism to egotism and that the world has seen a change from communism to liberalism to hedonism. He of course left out the worst of twentieth century ideologies...fascism, but I guess he just has too much love left in his old heart for der fuhrer. I think that the Catholic Church is just too set on turning the clock back to better times. What were the better times exactly? The glory days of the Church? The Inquisition? The Dark Ages? The raging against change in Early Modern and Contemporary Eras? The Roman Empire? I think they want it to be just like when Jesus was alive...those were the days...except they weren´t because they fucking killed Jesus and all his apostles and they sluttified the wholesome image of Magdalene, and women had no rights, minority had no rights. What are they trying to return us to? An age of female subservience seems to be their number one agenda, and that´s no beans.
