Wow. People are not pleased with the new pope. Andrew Sullivan expects an imminent ban on all gay seminarians, celibate or otherwise. And I expect the Church's immersion in the culture wars in the West - on every imaginable issue. For American Catholics, I foresee an accelerating exodus. Meanwhile, Max Sawicky has dubbed him Pope Wingnut the First. And the scary part? The early evidence is in thier favor. Pope Benedict XVI's positions are on record in the New York Times and in the Washington Post. (Twice.)
And Peter David stole my Pope Skippy joke! An unsubstantiated comment on the David post claims Pope Benedict once referred to Buddhism, in print, as spiritual masturbation. I agree, but apparently the Pope meant it as an insult. I have heard him refered to as "God's rottweiler". Not sure how they meant that. Lisa had a rottie who was a very cool dog, and I dont think Bennie XVI looks near as cute as Kato was. He also stole my Pope Ringogeorge joke...but how about Pope Rum and Popeacola?
