Now, given the demographic makeup of my journal's readership, the results of this are certain to be skewed. So anyone is free to take it upon themselves to link to this poll if they feel it will improve their viewpoint's standing.

Naturally, as a member of the Bay Area Pagan community I am familiar with Cardinal Ratzinger who has been very active as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (Inquisition) making sure Matthew Fox left Catholicism. I have, needless to say, not be impressed with Ratzinger now Benedict XVI.

But none of the choices on the list really fit how I feel. I have both good and bad feelings toward the institution of the Catholic Church. I have much sadness that Pope Palpatine I has been elected. I think it is a terrible thing for the Catholic Church and a worse thing for the world.
