I think that he is a man who is unworthy of his position of power and that he has no right to tell people what to do or how to live their lives.
No offense to Catholics.

He's just an old man who did absolutely nothing for the world, but people still seem to think he's the greatest gift to mankind. A bit like the queen really, just a symbol or whatever.
He's also just as hypocrite as the church so more power to him for representing one hundred percent the organization he's in control of.

Just another guy with a potential (or already in the process of) some serious damage to the modern world and its people. Having his own bloody state and over a billion people (but not all of them) adhering to him as a figure of higher morality is scary and worrying, at best.
May he rest in peace.AC10 said:
I really liked and respected John Paul II. Not only was he trying to spread tolerance and friendship, he actually made friends with musicians and other celebrities (he owned a pair of sunglasses given to him by Bono for pete's sake), and the Church was much more tolerant under his rule.
Benedict really upsets me as a Catholic woman. Although what do I care, I was divorced and am currently seeing a non-Catholic with the intention of having extramarital sex. I'm about 2 steps away from excommunication now.
I have just as much power as the pope. Fewer people just listen to me. At least when I suspect child abuse, I report it to the officials.

"Following his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger was conscripted into the Hitler Youth ? as membership was required by law for all 14-year old German boys after December 1939[7] ? but was an unenthusiastic member who refused to attend meetings.[8] His father was a bitter enemy of Nazism, believing it conflicted with the Catholic faith."
From what I understand it was like enforced boy scouts. So if you're a fourteen year old told you can go camping or be put to death, what would you choose? Cake or death, CAKE OR DEATH!!??
In my personal opinion I don?t really like this pope for the reason he defends pedophiles. Although I am not Christian I am not anti religious like many who have posted here (no offence just seems like that from the way many people are posting). I do have to say I loved his predecessor Pope john Paul the second, honestly he was and looked like a really nice fellow, although my judgment on pope john is based on my very limited knowledge of him seeing as I am not Christian.
I just want to try to explain how the pope kind of came to be (unless u already knew this but for those who don?t) kind of happened after the court of Rome (by the emperor Constantine I think) moved to Constantinople (Istanbul) this vacuumed of power allowed the bishop of Rome to take the role as leader in order to prevent Rome from being invaded by "barbarians". That at least from what I understand I could be wrongWarped Pixel said:
The Nazi party/movement was a political party, much like we know political parties today. Germany in the 1930's-1940's did not equal 100% Nazi population. (In fact, many of the most troublesome aspects of that war were unknown to most Nazi soldiers, like death camps.) So Benidicts' affiliation was probably via his parents, but I have nothing to back that up with.chromekreeper said:
