Wow! How did I know as soon as it was Ratzinger who was elected there would be many negative comments. Let's keep in mind the key is, it was an electoral process. That means he got voted in and the Nazi Storm-Troopers did not force all the Cardinals to vote for him! Furthermore just because he does not look like PJP2 he is already a bad Pope?
Ooooooo his Picture is so scary I would not want to meet him in a dark alley in Berlin! Give me a F**ing break the man is almost ninety years old. I think he looks pretty good for his age!
How about we give him a chance? |

Insight:
The election of Pope Benedict XVI was in effect a vote for the status quo. The Church is not in a worse position as a result of this election.
Clearly the intent here is the give the Church more time to plan it's full "modernization". Benedict XVI is not going to usher in any significant change - but give us a similar theological position as John Paul II.
Benedict XVI is nearly 80 years old - if he lives as long as John Paul II he only has 7 or 8 years of papal rule. In the next half-decade expect the Vatican to decide it's position on many major issues and then wait for the next pope to bring those changes to the forefront.
Lastly - Catholic religion is not governed by the same process and systems as a company, city or country. Catholicism is not about laws, by-laws and revisions. Catholicism is a religion given to people by God - so the process of change is not only slow, but is not up to the will of man (it is up to the will of God). The slow pace of change within religion is good thing and (the slow pace of change) has suited mankind remarkably well over the last 2000 years. Religion cannot be managed by a "flavor-of-the-month" mentality - it must be managed by temperance and contemplation (and divine inspiration).
Ok, thanks. |
