Aileron Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 I'm somewhat concerned about his age as well...the Catholic Church appoints leaders for life, not 4 year terms. I guess their reasoning is that they want a few years to decide who the next pope after this one will be. Or maybe they felt this man deserved the position, and wanted to give it to him before he died. Still, their decisions were based on profound reasoning. In another topic I suggested that they elect one of the africans...I realise now that was a mistake, because then you are judging the man by the continent he has come from, which positive or negative, is little more than racism. Basically, we are discussing the surface of this guy, but the cardinals were judging candidates by knowing them on a personal level, and knowing what they each have done. We all know that there is really nothing we are qualified to discuss on this matter, even though its so important. " 'Good' is merely a point of view.

Aileron Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 He's mostly ugly from age though. That's what I love about the Catholic Church though...only they can judge a person by substance rather than appearance enough to elect a man THAT ugly to run the organization.

romenov Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 I find it sad that so many people judge him for his past.First of all, who are they to judge? Second, if you look at the history of the catholic church it ain't pretty either (no offence intented).
