[Ghoulish Delight]

It's a difficult, complicated mess to be sure. And I certainly don't fault him as a human being (or, more accurately, don't have enough information either way to fault him) for taking what was probably the safest route at the time, or possibly simply not having the necessary perspective to truly understand why what he was doing might be considered so wrong. However, my gut says that that kind of transgression, while probably (again, not knowing the details of his time served) excuseable in my book for the common man, is...unsettleing when it's in the past of a pope. Especially in light of his continued rhetoric that shows him to be a religious isolationist with contempt for other beliefs.
