Heil Pontiff!
Member Hitler's Youth, Anti-Aircraft Personnel Nazi Army, Deserter Nazi Army, Head of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (that's the branch in charge of Inquisitions for those of you keeping score), God's Rotweiler, once denied being "the Grand Inquisitor". . .Is this simply a list of things I hope never to be on my resume?
No, it represents the qualifications to be Pope.
Is there anything to like about this guy?
Well, perhaps he will bring a new age of reason by pointing out the folly of it all. Nah, too logical.
Is it really time to take a step backwards when you are just reconciling mistakes from 350 years ago?
Fun Facts:
The last execution by the Spanish Inquisition was of schoolmaster, Cayetano Ripoll, July 26, 1826. His trial lasted nearly two years. He was accused of being a deist.
de·ism (dē'ĭz'əm, dā'-) n.- The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation.
discordianism n. - the veneration of Eris (a.k.a. Discordia) -- the goddess of chaos, discord and confusion.
Galileo Galilei died under house arrest in the fledgling Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Galileo's achievements include: demonstrating that the velocities of falling bodies are not proportional to their weights; showing that the path of a projectile is a parabola; building the first astronomical telescope; coming up with the ideas behind Newton's laws of motion; and confirming the Copernican theory of the solar system. He was denounced for heretical views by the church in Rome, tried by the Inquisition, and forced to renounce his belief that the planets revolved around the sun.
The Vatican officially recognized the validity of Galileo's work in 1993.

You forgot that he looks like an utter and complete lech.
