Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

It's Ratzinger, then. Benedict XVI. After four votes. Expect a few more years of very strict orthodoxy - after all, if the head of the Inquisition gets promoted all the way to the top, how else will it be?

Ratzinger? The guy from :Wumpscut: has become Pope?

[zotz]

Apparently so. He wanted to play St Peters' organ and this was the only way they'd let him.

Yup, my thought exactly. You just said it more eloquently. Right… I’m going to watch the Simpson’s.

Eek. Then I suspect the Catholic Church is about to make a dramatic change WRT it's stance on abortion...

[lovingboth]

What, be even more against it? Is that possible?

[lovingboth]

With luck, a very few more years.

It'd be nice if he broke JP I's record.

Um, at least one :Wumpscut: album argues that abortion should be mandatory...

Oh great, a reactionary hyper orthodox Pope known as "God's rottweiler" and the "Panzerkardinal". Just the news I wanted first thing in the morning. Och well, we can but hope he doesn't last too long.

V: What are your actual views on abortion? The songs on Embryodead are ambiguous…

R: Abortion? Well, it depends on the situation. It is easy to understand that women being in a bad condition ­ of which kind eve ­ should have the possibility to decide for their own, but you should be aware of the psychic problems an abortion can cause. I regard human life to have the same value as other life forms. Nothing more, nothing less. Just because we have a brain to think, it is arrogant and ignorant to treat ourselves differently. There is so much life on this planet - too much, maybe.
