		I think the election of Pope Benedict whatever after John Paul II showed that the Catholic church definitely wants to steer itself in the conservative, medieval values direction.  I would be extremely surprised if they elect a reformer, however, I think that is the smart move in a political sense.  Since the Catholic church is comprised of nothing more than politicians draped in the cloth, however, maybe they will elect a reformer.

		It's reassuring to know that everyone's favorite organization of international child rapists once more has direct leadership.

		It would be a shame to lose the art in the Sistine chapel, but it would be a worthy sacrifice if it meant the end of the church.

		The Via Appia is the best sight in Rome!!!
But generaly, a holiday in Spain or Portugal is better than a holiday in Rome, since Italians are desperate to live up to their stereotyps of being halfwit machos.
