Good riddance!
You can make a good argument that my comment is mean-spirited, but all the ill-will bundled into those two words pales in comparison to the callous disregard this Pontiff has exhibited toward the suffering of victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by the priests he leads. And while Pope Benedict has spent most of his religious capital railing against abortion and other reproduction-related issues, his leadership has been grossly lacking in focusing world attention on the needs of the poor and the oppressed. When it came to advocating Christ's social gospel, the head of the Holy Sea was a dismal failure. He might be missed by millions around the globe, but I won't be one of them!
