So, the Catholic Church has decided to alienate a whole new generation. Good for them.

I don't collect Religion: The Delusion cards, so I'm not up on current Catholic acolytes and their color and attack/defense ratings, but Ratzinger looks like he requires black mana, spews hatred at +2, and gets a +2 vs. Jews of any type for attack and defense.

Electing a former Nazi AND Inquisitor? What the fuck were those Cardinals thinking? Oh wait, religion requires a deliberate act of not using your brain from the get go, so thinking obviously wasn't a part of this process.

I think he should have gone for the Total Irony Finishing Move and named himself Innocent (insert appropriate roman numeral here).

And people wonder why I gave up Cotholicism for Lent all those decades ago.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled LJ Drama.

Noooobody


expects the Spanish (well, German) Inquisition! Ratzinger was once nicknamed the Pope's Rottweiler...

FWIW it was observed that the previous Benedict was a moderate Pope, so maybe he's trying to throw a bone to the moderates and progressives. The Catholics are so out of touch with reality, doctrine-wise, that the bone is going to have to be a big one to reduce the number of Catholics leaving the church.

Pat, who also gave the Church up for Lent many years ago...
