Pope Benedict XVI, Dark Lord of the Sith, addresses the Imperial Senate moments before permanently dissolving that troublesome body. The last remnants of the old Republic have finally been swept away…

Working toward the heat death of the Universe, one joule at a time!
But why is he disguised as Santa Claus? I wonder what Dan Brown would make of that – but then, I’m not sure I want to know.

We think he looks like Hannibal Lector… without the sense of humour!

Okay, I just gotta say.
I know Pope Benedict XVI is creepy-looking, but I am getting to really like this guy.
He issued a papal edict saying that “Intelligent Design” wasn’t real science and that, basically, the Catholic Church officially backs evolution.
Then he showed up on Christmas with a Santa hat, which was charming. Creepy and Sith-like, but also charming.
And he just made his first Encyclical. What did he write in his Encyclical? Nothing about abortion, or hating gays, or anything like that. What he wrote was this:
“Those who practice charity in the church’s name will never seek to impose the church’s faith upon others. They realize that a pure and generous love is the best witness to the God in whom we believe and by whom we are driven to love.”
Yep, that’s what he said: Charity is good and necessary, but shouldn’t be used to convert.
Now, I’m not Catholic by any stretch of the imagination, but I can really get behind that.
Anyway, there it is. I am digging the new Pope.
Word.
