The Pope - After a Week In 'Murrica

[abaris]

I'd also like to say that not all those in power do these things, lol.

But it's good to keep in mind that we're talking about a state, a political as well as economical organisation, which pretty often makes headlines because of shady deals. Banco Ambrosiano and it's CEO dangling from a London bridge only being one of them. Spirituality may be part of the deal for some, but it's certainly not at the forefront when dealing with the more secular problems.

I agree that this pope is refreshing as far as politics and certain socials issues are concerned, compared to his predecessors. But that doesn't change the fact, that he has a sell by date attached to his forehead, that he's as conservative as far as dogma is concerned and that noone can say, who will park his ass on the Holy See, once he's gone.
