Was in the Washington Post and Huffington Post as well, Dia. I found this out via Ms.Ledd this morning on FaceSpace. Thanks, Mara.

It's no surprise. Ratzinger did sign an order instructing for children to be forced to sign oaths of secrecy while he was a cardinal.
Conspiracy to cover up child abuse is something which ought to be taken very seriously.
Rumour has it, he won't leave the Vatican as he's safe there.

Yeah, if I'd been handed a can of worms like that I'd be opting out too.

That's what happens when you ban large numbers of people from having sex. They have it behind your back, and in increasingly... inventive ways.

I had a friend post this story ((http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/papal-ring-sign-official-documents-destroyed-article-1.1274459) "Pope Benedict's signet ring will be destroyed using special silver papal hammer to ensure documents it was used to sign will not be forged") with this comment I thought was kind of cute:

But surely the ring can only be unmade by casting it back into the fiery chasm from whence it came?

Living in a rural, yet highly Catholic area, I was pulling for Cardinal Peter Turkson to be elected to Pope. Why? Because I'd have loved the quandary all these pious (and racist) fucks around here, nearly all of whom openly state that they still refuse to acknowledge the "darkie in the White House", would have suddenly found themselves in.

You honestly expected a culturally backwards organization to do something a little less backwards? Frankly, I'm amazed they even picked someone from outside of Europe, but the guy they picked is technically of Italian descent anyway.
