God's Rottweiler

So we've got a "hardliner" Pope.

Well, didn't we suggest a hardliner too, but someone who can handle a Magnum .44 and looks good in white?? Sorry Sam, just not your conclave.



Seems like the cardinals were in a bit of a hurry. They theoretically had about 14 chances to vote but got it over with in 6 (i think). Maybe they felt that the Church had had enough of a warm and cuddly Pope and wanted someone that could kick some non-believer ass. Either way, the real test of Pope Benedict's tenure will be how patient and reverent the Church will be with him if ever he is wheelchair bound and can hardly speak.
