No, and I didn't like the last pope either. I cannot respect the pope for deceiving millions with his lies about the catholic cult. He sits on a chair with a inverted cross in the back of it, way up high and expects the world followers to bow down to him like he is God, which he is not. There will never come a day that I will ever bow to any man, especially the pope. In fact I would not even shake his hand, but I would love to tell him to his face everything I have written here.

Yes, he is alot better than our previous pope, John Paul II. Although, I agree 100% with Meg M. I think that it is time that we have a pope who gets back to the real religion of Catholicism, and not this post-Vatican II psuedo-religion that the world thinks is Catholicism today. Pope Benedict XVI has potential, don't get me wrong, but he needs to step up to the plate and make the Church the guiding light of the world like it should be and was always meant to be.
He needs to deal with the spirit of modernism that has infiltrated the Church. This liberal and "neo-Catholicism" has no place in the traditional, REAL Catholic faith. To do this he needs to deal with homosexuality, namely clergy but also laity. He needs to have the strictest possible stand on abortion possible. He also needs to bring the universal language back to the universal Church....which is Latin. In doing this, he will also bring back the traditional Mass.
* By the way, whoever it was who made the totally false statement about the Church promoting the theory of evolution is exactly what I am talking about. People don't know today what the Church really teaches. Just because the New York Times has a statement from a wayward bishop stating that he may believe in evolution doesn't mean that the Church teaches it. The Church has never and will never teach this because it goes against Scripture and Tradition, two of the most stingent requirements in an infallible statement.

Yes, I do. At first, I was afraid that the might be overly conservative, but he seems to be doing a good job. And following an enormously popular and beloved Pope would be a difficult task for anyone.

The second Nazi? The next one to say contraception is wrong and that we should all go round catching and spreading STDs like chain letters? The next Pope to do nothing at all for the church apart from to send it spiraling even more downhill? That guy?

I've never met the man, so it's very difficult to say.

No.
His name is Ratzinger, and he resembles his name.
He also keeps putting his foot in his mouth, from insulting the Muslims, to ridiculing the Amerinds, to claiming that the Church no longer supports evolution.
The man is a 'throwback' to an earlier time. Let us all hope his tenure is short and ineffective.

Yes, but I wish he would do more for traditional-leaning Catholics.
