I am bashing Pope Ratzinger I as HEAD of STATE |
|
not as the head of any religion.
I now return you to the other 347 threads on Pope Ratzinger I.

1. Thanks, that's what I said |
|
If your organization seeks to be a political force in the world don't act all offended when they are critiqued as such.

4. I also agree that as long as this one is around he is Pope Ratzinger |
|
in my book, just like DUHbya is DUHbya. Ratzinger fits the man just fine.

5. Actually, I think he's been pope for some time now |

Do you really think John Paul was reading everything he signed those last few months?

12. It's not like he went through a televised hearing like Bolton & al. |
|
Bolton, Negroponte, Bush, Ratzinger, they all have pasts, don't they?
Some are worse than others - or at least what we know...

3. Thanks - important distinction. |
|
I understand that the devout catholics are going to feel sensitive about this, but we simply cannot overlook the vatican as a political entity, as well as a religious one.
