| We have one already, and it's Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger. Pretty major event in the world.  |

I'm 99.9% sure this was already being discussed on this board.  He is far more on the right than JP2. But oh well. It doesn't affect ME that much, since I'm not Catholic, or even Christian. EDIT: you know what, I'll round it. I am 101% sure. (edited by Kefka on 04-19-05 10:23 AM) |

| Well, yes, this thread in unneeded. But Keikonium, you may want to hold your tongue on "how awesome" this is. You don't understand the politics surrounding what you have just said. | |||

I was only saying it was cool that the pope is german, and not yet another italian (yes I know JP2 was Polish). And when I said he was the perfect one, I meant that because he was german. And ya I dont know if he was the only german, but whatever. I was saying it was awesome that we watched TV in our classes instead of doing work. Not that it was awesome that this certain pope was elected. And how do you know that I dont understand it? You didn't even understand my post . I have watched CNN for almost 6 hours today I guess all about the pope. I think I know at least a bit....(edited by Keikonium on 04-19-05 12:15 PM) |

| Do you know that he is ultra-conservative and his becoming Pope could very well be the factor that splits the Catholic church in two? | |||

| OOOOOOH! YOU WATCHED CNN! I'm the ghost of academics past, and I'm trying to slit my wrists at how dumb an argument that is. |

| While Benedict XVI's diehard conservativeness will have little to no affect on me personally, it will have a strong effect on places such as third-world countries, what with e.g. John Paul II's anti-contraception stances and such, which I'm sure Benedict XVI will continue. Oh well. Pity; I was hoping for a younger, more liberal Pope. At least with such a conservative Pope, he's older so he's not going to be The Man for as long as John Paul II was. I was reading some of the stuff Ratzinger was saying about Moral Relativism and such (prior to the commencement of the Conclave)... let's just say I disagree with President Bush's assessment of Benedict XVI as a "man of great wisdom and knowledge". For starters, he doesn't seem to know what Moral Relativism is; he seems to be under the impression that it's tantamount to conformity, and is inherently egotistical, rather than being a view that, basically, "right" and "wrong" depend on one's point of view, and to be a relativist is not to exclude oneself from this definition. How is that "egotistical"? And believing that not everyone holds the same opinion as yourself does not preclude having your own opinions. The irony of Benedict XVI's assessment of Relativism is that I consider it an apt description of his views. Perhaps he does know what Moral Relativism is, and his problem is not that he misunderstands it, but that he understands that it challenges the assumption that his views are universally correct, and fears that (and/or rejects it as folly/blasphemy/bad) and so speaks against it. *shrugs* I |

To top it all off, Ratzinger is a former Hitler Youth. I had to dig deep through British news sources for THAT, though  |

| To be fair, he joined after it was mandatory, got out of it, and has been carrying on about his opposition to the Nazi party. However, I've got the distinct feeling he'll bomb the Catholic church back to the Middle Ages with his staunchly conservative... nay, right-wing philosophies. As he farts dust, though, maybe they'll do this again in a few years and get it right. Even if I wasn't too excited about the candidates, in spite of the fact that, well, I ain't exactly going to be Pope material based on my beliefs. (ahem) |
