New Pope

Yes it was compulsory, but I still wonder if it will cause any backlash.

I'd say that's why he's wearing the Papal robes today. The cardinals obviously thought it wasn't a matter of too much concern if it was mandatory....however, you know in today's politically correct society, something will probably be said.

Good question. I suppose it's likely some of the Jews may not care for it, but others may be more understanding, considering they knew what happened to those that didn't obey Nazi law.

I with both statements. It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other since I am not Catholic, or Jewish, but it could be interesting.

Like you said elp6n. Some may be forgiving since they new the consequences. Others may not since he should fear God more than Adolf.

they elect older popes in order to promote a constant change, many in the catholic church feel John Pauls 27 year reign was to much.

He does sort of remind you of what the anti-christ in the position of Pope would look like...he has that sinister, evil look to him. I will wait in the bomb shelter as he is sure to be readying the secret Vatican nuclear arsenal.

and
