It's not as if the Catholic church has a long and proud history of fighting nazism/fascism (especially in Italy)... so I seriously doubt that's a black mark.

I like to think of him as a sort of 78 year old dirty harry. With a little red hat.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany has been elected pope to lead the Roman Catholic Church, a cardinal announced on Tuesday.
He has chosen Pope Benedict XVI as his papal name, the cardinal said.


Pity, I was hoping for a slightly younger, black pope to be elected. I can see it now, standing on the balcony, hip hop blaring, and his opening blessing being "What up ******! Respect to the big G! Pray to da Lord!" Then after a while of blankness from the assembled masses a cry of "Damn! these white boys can't pray!"

German and Catholic, that's a nice choice due to the catholic church's platform of noninvolvement during the Holocaust.

Real die hard anti-multiculture type as well. Gonna go down well with our Muslim brethren. For *** sake, it's about time the RC church dragged itself kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

Religion sucks and despite all the bad press the Islamics get it's the Catholics who are at the top of the pile for causing misery.

78! ok, how on earth did I miss that bit! Let's see, PJPII was, what 87, and so this chap is likely to be around for at least that long. Hmm, they are totally out of touch with the world as it stands.

JP2 was 84, but was appointed when he was 58. JP1 was 66 when appointed, but only lived another 33 days. So I don't think you can say that Ratzinger will live "at least that long".

One thing's for sure -- he ain't gonna be Pope for 26 years...
