New Pope = Ratzinger
Here's some choice tidbits:
"Cardinal Ratzinger has been head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - formerly known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition - since 1981." So, he was the head of the Inquisition.
"One of his first campaigns was against liberation theology, which had gained ground among priests in Latin America and elsewhere as a means of involving the Church in social activism and human rights issues." So, he was the head of the Inquisition *and* he spent his time persecuting Liberation Theology, the part of Catholicism that calls for human rights and aid to the poor.
"He has described homosexuality as a "tendency" towards an "intrinsic moral evil". During the US election campaign, he called for pro-choice politicians to be denied Communion." Nuff Said.
Also joined the Hitler Youth when he was younger, but apparently that wasn't really his idea.
