NP my anti-Catholicism

[Bandwraith at aol.com]

I'm not Catholic (not even a christian) but this old man in the
funny costume strikes me as one of the more heroic figures
on the current world stage. Apart from the superstitious aspects
of his creed- not unlike the similar rubbish of all the other
religions, the need for which seems fairly universal, and will
probably hasten our collective demise by distracting us from
the impending environmental melt-down- it would be hard to
name other religious leaders who have tried harder to bridge
the gaps that separate the peoples of the world. He is an
old, fallible man, whose actions, like anyone in a position of
great power and authority, might have unintentionally harmed
many people, but he is trying to be a good person, and I 
respect him for that.
