Unless you live in another Galaxy, you'll know that we now have a new Pope. Probably not a new, more liberal Catholic Church, but a new Pope all the same. In annoiting Ratzinger, the vatican has voted for some continuity of John Paul's policies. This signals an endorsement of the church's most conservative teachings and views. Couple his views with his snow-white hair, piercing blue eyes and soft German accent (I think he looks a bit sinister), he'll be a bundle of funs that's for sure.
I wonder if those silly, irrelevent wombats over at the Australian Greens had anything to do with Ratzinger's transformation into Pope Benedict XVI?
Following reports that George Pell, the Arch bishop of Sydney, had emerged as a dark horse to become the next Pope, Greens MP Lee Rhiannon fired off a note to the Vatican urging the Catholic Church to deny the ultra conservative leader a promotion to head the church…
Who the hell she thinks she is has got me stuffed. Silly old duck isn't even a Catholic.
I await the the letter from the new Pope urging the Greens to dump Lee Rhiannon...
