The Pope is dead

I still say the man started off real well, taking on the Soviets and all, then slowly became a rather nasty bigoted religious right clone responsible for the deaths of a lot of people. It's high-time that church cleaned house, and they won't. And they will grow increasingly irrelevant in developed countries as a result. This is no time to wax glorious over the real tragedies this Pope oversaw and did nothing about, from pedophilia in his midst to AIDS. His record was checkered, to put it nicely. Let's see if the media reports on that.
