So Cardinal Ratzinger is the new pope. Pope Benedict XVI. Papa Benny. The one guy who makes JP2 look like he was a free-lovin' hippy. Way to go firmly into the 17th Century, Catholic Church.
Congratulations. Except to Catholic women and homosexuals, of course. Or future AIDS victims in Africa where the Vatican's influence has kept condoms out of any discussion of AIDS prevention. Sorry about your horrible deaths, but condoms are sinful you know so it's much better to die young than sin.
At least there's a new pope who will do all he can to ensure that the Catholic Church is officially wrong in so many respects.
