A year ago today, white smoke wafted from the Sistine Chapel's chimney, signalling the appointment of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as successor to Pope John Paul II. But amid much Catholic celebration, commentators internationally indulged in an inordinate amount of speculation on the damage Ratzinger's appointment might do to Catholic-Muslim relations.

to quote something?
Edit: My inferior intellect tells me (without actually reading the article you've linked to) that based on the title suggesting that the pope is not in fact a catholic and the post indicating this may damage catholic-muslim relations, that the pope is?.. a?.. what?.. I don't get it.
Oh, well. I'll just have to read the article then. :
Edit: Ok, I get it. This new guy is not as tolerant with other religions as the last pope. Yeah, that sucks.

Originally posted by lucifershammerI think having a pope (messenger of God's alleged love and compassion) that won't work with other religious leaders to provide a stable and peaceful environment for his own followers is a bad idea. That's all I have to say about that.

I am impressed at that bracketed quote thing though.

I wonder if it's possible to underline words now as well?
Meanwhile, back at the farm, the grass continued to grow and the paint began to dry.
Can you not see that all this handwringing is pure nonsense constructed and administered by man? Religious leaders have managed to created fatal conflicts between different nations and cultures over something as irrational as "God". What a pity.

Originally posted by David CGood thing there's never been any fatal conflicts over things like territory, oil, general principles, or anything else, because otherwise it might indicate that wars are started because some people are morons and would be morons whether or not there were religions.

Originally posted by reader1107Of course there are wars over material goods, did I say there weren't? Why add conflict over transcendental concepts that have no relevance on day to day existence (begging Freaky's pardon)?
