On Pope Benedict XVI
It is never wise to bash a religious leader, but it is in my firm belief that they can be judged as well, just like other powerful men such as Obama or Bill Gates. And it is a little bit weird to me that people acknowledging Enlightenment would accept, embrace, worship and defend such a notion like "pope", "Dalai Lama" etc. (well, it is legitimate to say Tibetans spiritually haven't experienced an Enlightenment. Whether some other forces who force an Enlightenment on them should be demonized is open to debate) etc.
I am very far from Tibet, and Roman Catholics. And I don't assume AP or NYT to be just and impartial, without any hidden motive. But to me, this case adds to my impression that current Pope sucks.
