Benedict, on the other hand, I can't stand!
Except for a couple of Cardinals from third world countries who just seemed wacky, Ratzinger was probably the worst choice the College of Cardinals could have made from among the major candidates. IMHO. I couldn't stand him as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (what used to be called the "Inquisition") and I think he makes about as good a Pope as Putin (former KGB) makes a President.
