New Pope is Joseph Ratzinger - from Bavaria

Says it all really, doesn't it acquascutum?

George Bush has directly killed more innocent people than Kerry's pro-choice ideology.  Fact!

 

I'm not so sure about the factuality of that "Fact!"

 

500,000 to over 1,000,000 fetuses aborted in the US every year vs. 22,851 in Iraq since military operations there started.  That's a difference of several orders of magnitude.

Pedant alert!

 

Foetuses aren't people and Eurovol specified people, so strictly speaking you weren't right to pull him up on that.

"Ratzinger is even more conservative than John Paul. And his out-of-the-blue denunciations of the Beatles in 1996 - a quarter century after they split up - and insistence that the rock band AC/DC's name meant "anti-Christ, death to Christ" cemented the impression among many young Catholics that Ratzinger was out-of-touch."

The New Scientist put the numbet at at least 100'000 civilian death in october 2004.

 

And I wonder how many of the teen pregnancy which ended in abortion are related to Bush politics in sex education.

 

But that's not the question. I like the fact that he talk in Latin to try to communicate with the other religions and catolics around the world. Another moment of modernism.

Go look at yourself in the mirror - please tell me that you're not that stupid and this is just a bad brain day. First a foetus begins with sperm and now this.

Well, the priests don't really look like they are having any fun, so lets be fair.

[acquascutum 206]

...fair point but the nazis aren't exactly cracking up with laughter either. you also need to take into consideration they are german which removes the having fun factor right out of the equation.

@ katrina, I was listening to it live on Bayerisch Rundfunk. I reckon they had more than a pretty good idea from the way they were talking. I kind of picked it up that they KNEW in advance. :ph34r:

I was just searching for some news audio on the pope to use for my class tomorrow and found one on yahoo (from AP news) about the pope addressing the media the other day - what I thought was so so so funny (just started laughing the second he started talking) is that he sounds EXACTLY like Marvin the Martian when he speaks in English (or at least in this clip he did)
