Is there such a list? I would like to see one compiled. I for one plan to give them a piece of my mind. Maybe they are right and I am wrong. Maybe the Holy Spirit guided every hand. Or maybe they said screw you to a whole bunch of Catholics who expressed concern over this one possibility over and over, and the most positive thing anyone on the various TV shots I saw today was we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Which I will, but I am now angry..and pardon the pun but I do smell a rat somehow. And he could be perfectly fine, and I think as someone who was a POW in WWII he probably has some life experiences that he could share with us..but I am not sure as a pope. And I want to write to many, if not all, of the cardinals, and encourage others to also...in of course a non-abusive manner. My computer is so slow that it poops out before it finds anything on Google so if anyone else has access to such a list, perhaps starting with the American, Canadian, Australian..what the heck...I am a former nice Catholic Girl and I can write to all of them in Latin... mg

If they have been guided by God then you are wrong, and if they have not been so guided, then the world has been being screwed for 2000 years and nothing you say to any or all of them will make the slightest bit of difference.

Nevertheless:

One note - Cardinal Law is no more of Boston. For his 'adept' handling of th sex-abuse scandal by simply shuffling pedophile priests off to greener predatory pastures with no warning to the congregations (or altar boys!), he got.... badamptum... PROMOTED! He's in Rome now. Now if they'd only 'promote' Mahoney right the heck out of Los Angeles...

Of course I "don't have a dog in the fight" because I'm not Catholic. But the Catholic church does have its own system, its own legalities. While (as an outsider) I think the choice was unfortunate, I think even a Catholic should recognize that the appropriate body did what church law empowered and expected it to do, and this is the choice.

It's not any different, as I see it, from our presidential election: The choice may have gone to the wrong man, but them's the facts, kid, and that's who occupies the office for the coming years.

At least in this case there is (as far as I have heard, at least) no suspicion of illegal hanky-panky in the election, as there was and is relative to the two Bush victories.

It is to be remembered that John Paul II chose a large proportion of the current cardinals with the idea of setting the future track of the church in a conservative mode, and the election of Benedict XVI is the result of that. Nothing technicaly wrong with that, whatever your view of the desirability of the result now and in the future. That's part of what being the Pope is about.

I'm not sure what contacting cardinals to scold them is expected to accomplish.

Good for you, Mary. I wrote an op/ed piece about him years ago and was appalled at what I found in my research. As for him being a POW...he was held for several weeks by US forces, NOT in a Nazi camp, so I am not sure he'd have a lot to share anyway. NOT to say that our camps might not have been rough.

This quote reminds me of the "shrub" and also the Saturday Night Live "Lowered Expectations" skits. I ma not sure that the "only way is up" but one can hope.

Breda O'Brien, a columnist with the Irish Times, saw the bright side of the Pope's reputation.

"Never in recent history has a Pope been announced who has such a firmly established public image, and a negative one at that," O'Brien wrote. "He ... may take some comfort from the fact that public expectation is so low that indeed, the only way is up."

I still wish they had chosen the Archbishop Emeritus of Manila, Jaime Cardinal Sin (pronounced as a sort of cockney version of "I'm a cardinal sin"). In keeping with the double names lately in Vatican Vogue, he could have called himself Benedict Arnold the First. He's roughly the same age as Rapsinger.

I thought the Nigerian Cardinal might have made a very Pope.

The Roman Catholic Church is not now, nor has it EVER been, a democracy. The hierarchy do NOT listen to the laity until the flames are licking at the hems of their cassocks.
