Pope John Paul II had more charisma than the new does. Catholic and non-Catholics all like and respected him.

Yes without doubt but I think actually being Polish was an advantage bringing him to the forefront of non Catholic attention, whereas the current Pope is seen almost as a temporary replacement having been the previous encumbant's right-hand man

Very much so but everyone is different.Clinton had/has charisma and in my opinion was a spineless jellyfish of a president.His wife on the other hand has no charisma but would probably make a better president than he did.

I believe that a polish sausage has more charisma then the current pope.

Definitely. He had the kind of charisma that you rarely see in a Pope. Benedict looks and acts like he's dead already.

I'm not Catholic so I really shouldn't give an opinion, but the previous pope certainly seemed more accessible and friendly. I can't speak about policy but something about Benedict just makes me nervous; like Hannibal Lecter. Sorry for the comparison but that's what he makes me think of...

I agree but the new Pope seems very caring. I hope he changes things. Anyways, I like the fact that he's an ex-nazi. goes 2 show it's spossible to be forgiven for sins.

The Polish pope may have had more charisma but could he screw in a light bulb?

It is not a contest.
Both seem to be devoted men of God with one of the most difficult jobs in the world.
Let us pray for God to guide Pope Benedict XVI.
With love in Christ.
