Just because the Cardinals are going to "vote" on the New Pope doesn't make what they are doing comperable in any way to the functioning of a democracy of 350 million people making decisions about budgeting. <br /><br />1) Its a god damned Autocracy. <br /><br />2) Financial decisions have been made so poorly that the Vatican itself suffered a major meltdown just this year and many people in the know suspect that the Pope is resigning partially because they can't keep running the Vatican as a money laundering outfit now that other countries won't play along.<br />3) Despite the billions in membership the actual leadership is very, very, small--smaller than the house of representatives, for example. Smaller number of stakeholders = smaller number of conflicts and negotiations.<br />Oh, hell, its so dumb it makes dumb look smart.<br /><br />aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38880484914176345432013-03-04T10:46:36.298-05:002013-03-04T10:46:36.298-05:00More rape, pillage and genocide has been commited ...More rape, pillage and genocide has been commited by the Catholic Church than than all other single entities in the generally accepted history of man combined.

At on time, t...What happened to our right-wingers?<br /><br />At on time, they were pissed that Nixon had to leave before his 2nd term was over.<br />"He shouldn't have left, unless armed troops forced him out!", I remember some relative saying.<br /><br />And now, after Sister Sarah, the Great Simpleton of Sitka, stepped down as Governor of Alaska, the righties LOOOOOOOVES them some quitters!!!<br /><br />Uhm no, Mr. (not so) Goodwin, there's no way that the activites around the first Pope to be stepping down in nearly half a millenium, can be described as "dignified."<br /><br />Especially not after the world-wide child-sex scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church to its very core.<br /><br />And especially not when that churches hierarchy spent decades (centuries?) covering up child-sex crimes, and as if moving child-molesting Priests and Bishops to another area was the cure, instead of notifying secular authorities to deal with the deviant sex-freaks like the deviant sex-freaks that they are, were, and always will be, without some punishment, and some significant psychiatric help.<br /><br />And now, the world awaits the next Pontiff.<br />A Pope who hopefully wasn't involved in child sex-crimes - but in reality, will probably be among those who did the covering-up of child sex-crimes the best.<br /><br />After all, you can't have an open child sex-criminal, or one who was involved in the covering-up of child sex-crimes, as head of a billion person international corporation, now can you?<br /><br />Or, can you?<br /><br />It seems to me, that I'd have to say that we just did.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
