Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger Of Germany Is The New Pope

panzer pope

i was kinda hoping they would pick the black guy.

What is the significance of the new pope calling himself Pope Benedict XVI?

What is the significance of the new pope calling himself Pope Benedict XVI?

cause if he named himself pope adolf folks would be more suspicious of his activities during WW2 than they already are.

OK. Check this out:

Is Ratzinger the evil, Robert Blake 'mystery guy' from the movie Lost Highway?

sieg heil meepes

i hope he dies soon, so we can elect someone who'll tell my girlfriend to give it up

^ why don't you elect a new GF

'Dear brothers and sisters, after our great Pope, John Paul II, the Cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in God's vineyard. I am consoled by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and how to act, even with insufficient tools, and I especially trust in your prayers. In the joy of the resurrected Lord, trustful of his permanent help, we go ahead, sure that God will help. And Mary, his most beloved Mother, stands on our side. Thank you. '

insufficient tools, now thats a good definition of priests, popes aso.

If you don't like him, just dont listen to him. If his actions negatively affect you, than kill him and get a new pope. Its just that simple.

I like him, Its the Pope, the german pope! And now with the number 16, cardinal ranziger on the field. goal!

I have heard worser news, a new pope is always good, like a new president, maybe.

still a little hard to get past the fact that he swore an oath of loyalty to hitler upon entering the german army.........

It sounds to me like you all have a little Catholic-Nazi envy.

Just rest assured (and obviously something you all haven't comprehended), God is in control of this situation. He made Pope John Paul #2 die so that this 'nazi' pope could take over control of the church.

It is not our place as God fearing people to judge ANYONE, especially Nazi's. THIS IS ALL A PART OF GODS' MYSTERIOUS PLAN. What better display of God's omnipotent power than to make a former Nazi the Pope? To bring the much malined Nazi culture into the forefront of God's harmonic love is an ASTOUNDING move on God's part and basically says, ' Hey, remember me...I'm God...yeah....that's right, I'm gonna to do whatever the heck I want...yeah...and you sniveling non-believeing whiners can't do a darn thing about it, BECAUSE I'M GOD.'

I GIVE GOD'S CHOICE FOR POPE A BIG +1.

nocal: she's a really good cook.

All hail our new Emper...erm...Pope!

Sprechen Sie Clicky?

haha gothmog, this picture is awesome. And again i say: this thread deserve get more attention then terry shiavos!

And, well, wallygator, its the church, the new and fresh church! The church doesnt deal with old stuff, nor do they care. whatever, he isnt more or fewer nazi then everybody in government or in the church. They sail with the wind, who dont? I say who hadnt sailed with the nazi-wind, the dead people. He is empopeor, anyway, and it doesnt matter wether nazi or not. Slippedhole hits the nail on the head. God is funny.

^poetry, pure unaduterated poetry.

Ratzinger? Isn't that the guy who played Cliff Clavin????

The prophecy has come to pass

Thats where I knew that name from. Fuked me all day trying to remember. Besides, this pope looks dead already.

Pope Benedict XVI - Proudly leading the Church into the 19th century.

I am afraid this Pope won't be the 'cathalyzer' you were looking for.

Middle ages, here we come again. Why not pick the Cardinal of Africa, and try to quell the civil wars? Why not pick the Cardinal of Middle East, and try to establish a new understanding with the Muslims?

It almost makes me wonder if the conservative forces of the West have had influence on the decision. Nothing like an conservative Pope to complement the frothing-at-the-mouth right-wingers here.

The world has gone to meep, and we are all but turds swirling in its toilet bowl.

He is 78 years old, so we should have another new pope in the Vatican at about the same time as there is a new President in the Whitehouse.

just because the guy is a white male catholic born in germany in 1928 and he's fanatically conservative and intollerant, doesn't necessarily mean he was/is a nazi. let's give teh guy a chance to prove himself here, fellas. Benefit of the doubt?

He was a member of the Hitler Youth as a child, but is not old enough to have served in the army during WWll. He would have turned 18 in 1945.

hey dragonstaff, it's in his bio that he was in the german army......they were'nt all that strict on age when we they were getting their meep handed to them in the last years of the war

Hey kids!

it's Emperor Papaltine

At least thei Pope believes in Birth Control...

Bush Praises Pope Constantine the meephead 'He's a man of great wisdom and knowledge,' Mr Bush said.

Hmmmm.... I never joined the Nazi youth. What does that make me?

meep YOU GEORGE W. BUSH and your meeping NAZI views. You are the most un-American smeepbag. The Nazis spoke of the Fatherland. Bush talks of the Homeland. Now he views a Nazi as a man of great Wisdom and Knowledge. meep the both of them. I hope somebody shoots this Nazi before he does real harm.

meep GW BUSH. MAY HE BURN IN meep.
