The last Pope acted and looked like a Pope for all mankind. The new Pope looks like an ex-gangster and couldn't even send the right message for peace an harmony. What do you make of him?

Have you actually read what the Pope said?
Here is a link to the English translation of the Pope's controversial speech: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg_en.html
With love in Christ.

I think the new Pope is definitely not what the world needs at this time. We need someone who can unite or try and unite religions to at least acknowledge each others beliefs and respect them. It is sad and extremely dangerous for religious sects to incite each other.
Throughout history wars have been started in the name of one religion or another, fanatics will always use their belief or supposed belief to incite hatred and be allowed to commit atrocities in the name of it. The leaders should condemn these people, and instruct their followers to give them no credence, but for the power and the glory this does not happen, religion has become like a TV ratings war to get viewers or in their case followers, it's turning into a game show, but with death and destruction instead of that lovely holiday in the sunshine!!!

i liked the last pope too and hope he has a good place in heaven. the current pope does not have the innocent charm of the last one. but he has been voted in as a man of God. i hope that he can live up to his title and do some good in this world like the last one tried to - rather than quoting incendiary remarks all over the place. anyone who voted for him or indeed anyone who cares about the future of catholicism has a duty to pray for his mental health. lets hope he stays just looking like an ex-gangster i.e. doesn't actually do this gangsterish sort of stuff again

the new pope is a hale Hitler follower and the present hale Hitler'Bush' is doing good coz' he's got a more mature SS and not a kid ss,but this one's a big bad new's one god save the world,because we Catholics are very few coz' by church law you can have only one wife,and the Muslim's can have seven wives's.so the kid's the Muslim have are more than the catholic couples have.so we will loose the war against them.look's like there was someone else who won the election's in Rome,the smoke that went up was forced out to fool all of us.the pope is a traitor and i hate him they should nail him to the cross for betraying all of us.don't be surprised if he has started a religious war,what for free bottles of red wine to say this is the blood of Christ.i hate the pope he gives me the creeps.find someone new who we would love to look up to.

The richest organisation in the world with the most of the poorest people in the world with the oldest most ignorant leader (next to Bush) in the world WHEN IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH going to reform itself ?
The Vatican was pro fascism in WW 2 so that pope fits perfectly into the picture !

I'm no christian, but his views are far from brotherly. And I think that brotherhood was one of the messages christ did try to pass on to us. Let's hope that some guys in the Vatican "give him a hand" and that he'll soon be a bad memory in history. Unfortunately I think there's still to many extreme thinkers there so we'll probably have to wait till he goes the natural way, but since he's pushing 80 that shouldn't be too long.

I don't like this Pope much. I want my Polish pope back! I thought he looks a bit like Darth Sidious (sp?) from Star Wars.

Just wait. If God doesn't strike him down, he might yet get the chance to offend Buddhists, Hindus and probably Christians.

Although I think he has been quoted out of context this time, I'm not a fan. But what do you expect - he is the former head of the inquisition or what's left of it.
