I'll be happy to say that Pope Benedict XVI aka "Pope Ratzinger" aka "Pope Palpatine" aka "Benny The Rat", will be the Pope that KILLS the Roman Catholic Church!
I used to like Catholicism....it was somewhat more moderate back when I was younger. I never put it in the same category as "Crazy Fundie Holy Roller Church". It was respectable, mainstream, ecumenical & somewhat charitable...even if it was still backwards in some areas. The religious/ritual aspects are quite nice....The Rosary, Chaplets, Novenas, Sacraments, The Mass, The Music, The Art, The Mysticism, Mother Mary, Angels, Saints, etc.
I realize now that the Catholic Church I knew was due to Vatican 2...where the Church tried to make an effort to change & adapt to the modern era.
Then the 90's came along & the "atomic-powered el stupido" began to creep in.
Then ol' Palpatine was elected & it is now a Fundie Hell!
And don't get me started on their handling of the "Pedo Priest" thing!
IMHO, if people wish to practice the Catholic Faith, they should just ditch the Roman Church & switch to the more Progressive of the splinter churches (yes, they are out there) OR become Anglican/Episcopalian.
