benedictus XVI (what a silly name)
"deepy saddened"
by the way his words were interpreted in the muslim world.
in fact, what he wanted is:
"to open a dialog"
"i don't know why but i feel we're going to laugh a lot with this pope"

i, for one, have been dissapointed since the successor to john paul 2nd missed a golden opportunity to take the name "george ringo."
ton pape depasse de loin toute imagination.

I tried with the most positive intentions and even more positive wishful thinking not to misinterpret the Pope's word, I read the entire address,
I failed ...
to grasp the meaning
to see a leeway for a dialog
to understand the timing and significance of this speech
I too am deeply saddened that this type of speech is coming from this type of authority ...
Tranquilicémonos todos un poco, olvidémonos de las religiones y seamos felices, es poco el tiempo de que disponemos, no lo malgastemos en absurdas peleas. Como dice un gran dibujante español "El Roto", que las guerras de religión se soluciones con rezos (los creyentes, claro). Salud.
jorj, i think you've been sold bad extasy pills.
hm, yes, the pope. i think this one is a dangerous man. as we all can figure out: even the journalist, or writer always uses quotations of interviewed people in articles, and the used quotes are always selected in order to tell the story from the perspective of the journalist writing it. and although they are not the journalist's own words, they are telling the story just like the journalist wants it.
Ratzinger defending his choice by: 'it are not my own words' is of course a crazy 'defense'.
also in the land Italy the pope is heavily interfering in daily national politics, explicitly attacking women's rights to make her own responsible choices...
etc.
so yes, i do find this pope and his agenda dangerous. his words were 'chosen' and that's it.
there's a nice song on ratzinger, in italian -->
