Well, there goes the Catholic Church. . .

So, we went from a Pope who, in WWII helped a Jewish refugee, to a Pope who, in WWII, was a Hitler youth.

Any bets how long until the majority of American Catholics form a schismatic church and just get away from Rome?

My money's on fifteen minutes.

Keep in mind, too, that Ratzinger--excuse me, Pope Benedict XVI--is 78 years old, so it's not as though he's likely to be Pope for that long a time. 27 years would seem to be pretty much out of the question.
