Pope Benedict XVI...
They were looking to modernize the Catholic church, so they picked the most vociferous hard-line conservative on the list. Interesting logic. Could be a trip back to the dark ages...
However, I digress. I'm not making a full judgement just yet since a.) he just got elected, and b.) I'm not Catholic.
Two things puzzle me though:
1.) Why do you replace an 82-year-old Pope with a 78-year-old Pope. (Is this guy the Bill Guthridge of Catholicism?)
2.) Why not pick a Pope that comes from a place where Catholicism is growing at it's strongest rate (i.e. Latin America or Africa)?
