Leadership of a Major World Religion FAIL

[cimorene]

Pope Benedict's rehabilitation of four traditionalist bishops may heal one festering Catholic wound at the expense of opening a wider one with Jews because one of the prelates is a Holocaust denier.

I've never been that impressed with the Pope, but honestly, are you fucking kidding me?

I don't have words.

That evil, evil arsehole. He mocks and betrays Catholics of faith and compassion with his every decision. And that, that is nothing next to the horror and pain those decisions cause in the world.

Okay, I do have words: I'm sorry.

Oh, Pope Palpatine. Don't ever change. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will keep moving into the future, while you're stuck in a vanished past, screaming at the top of your little lungs trying to get someone to pay attention to you.
