I've not liked this new Pope from the start. From his first days he has shown strong allegiance to right-wing policies. I can’t help but wonder if this "conservative" Pope made his provocative statement knowing that there would be a massive reaction? Then his tepid "not quite" apologies have only made the Moslem world even angrier.
You'd think he was, like, the leader of a traditional religious faith or something. Darn it all if only he were a Unitarian or something.
