So, the new Pope is in. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany became Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday. I don't know, people always say that first impression counts. And this first impression thing is just not working for me in this case.
The new Pope looks more like a mafia boss from one of those Godfather movies. Hey, I've nothing agaisnt him (at least not yet), I respect senior citizens (I guide one across the road once in a while), but Pope John Paul II looks so much more...hmm....warm and comforting? In fact, I feel so vulnerable and close to him just thinking about him.....eww, doesn't sound right.
Maybe it's all the things we've come to associate with the late Pope. His love and passion for mankind, his faith in his religion, his sympathy for all those suffering.
We'll sure miss him, huh.
By the way, did i mention I'm not Christian?
