Jeez, so those feckless old men chose a bloke for pope who was implicated in supporting a vicious right-wing dictatorship, notorious for years for making dissidents "disappear" and for hiding political prisoners from human rights watchers. How reminiscent of Pius XI and Pius XII who, respectively, did dirty deals with Mussolini, who needed to keep the Church quiet about fascism, and who facilitated the escape of Nazi war criminals to South America (irony? You tell me!). Not to speak of literally watching out of Vatican windows as a thousand Jews were abducted and taken to death camps. And last time they selected a guy who was doomed to be smeared all though his papacy by dint of his membership of Hitler Youth. Clever buggers, these cardinals, eh? Do you think they thought we wouldn't notice? Anyone for one person, one vote?
