Pope = Arch-Reactionary Fool

As I wrote before in a previous post:

Dogma makes people believe the strangest things.

As the UK activist/comedian Mark Steel wrote of the then new Pope Benedict way back in April 2005:

So if the new Pope's going to stick to papal traditions, he could manage to be the one person in history of whom it could be said as a child he was in the Hitler Youth, but once he grew up he went further to the right.
