43. He is being judged NOW! You have failed to notice his past "actions"
The time for the judgment of the pope's actions, as you call for, is happening as we wait:

*His failure to stand up to the Nazis as a young man.

*Support of radical catholic, conservative doctrine. In one instance, leading to the deaths of millions of Africans from AIDS

*Intervention in American politics, by commenting that Kerry was not worthy of sacrament because of his moderate abortion beliefs.

*Steadfast in his belief that following other religions will condemn that person to hell, a theory that JP II had worked so hard against.


These are just a few of the actions he has already committed and they need to be brought to the forefront of the masses, so that perhaps he won't have a chance to make horrific decisions that effect all of the globe, catholic or not.

Attacking the new Pope is nothing new, and how are we going to offend the Protestants?! Please correct me if I've got my history wrong here, newsflash!, the Protestant branch was formed as a rejection of the Catholic Church! Ironically, Martin Luther's last straw was the enormous expense of building St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, which he considered opulent, a waste of money and further proof of the corruption of the Catholic Church.

Then a little thing called the Protestant Reformation happened, hence the name, a sign of protest against Rome. Any good Protestant is actually against the Pope and all he stands for. So why would they feel offended if people verbally attack the Pope?

The British papers are eviscerating the Pope and their people are lapping it up. Why? Well, we can thank Henry VIII for that one!
