The thing is Libra, I can't imagine that many non-Americans even know who Benedict Arnold was, much less care what he did or didn't do to the US hundreds of years ago.

The English have a fairly large statue of him in London, I think, though the English way back when didn't like him very much either.
Traitors are traitors no matter what, no matter what side they work for. Even those they help will not let them live it down.

Hell, I think he's probably just a transitional pope since his health is not very good. But, who knows? Maybe he will do unexpected changes like John XXIII.

By the way, has anyone heard about the weird ass "prophecy" that this pope is going to be the second to last or something? I stumbled upon this.Anyway, since the guy is 78 and in poor health, he's just a transition pope. I doubt he'd do anything great, since he was JP's right hand man and will keep on doing what JP was doing. Oh, and even though he may not have been a Nazi back in the 1940's, I would consider him one with his backwards stances on women's rights and homosexuals. Just me.

*Shrugs*
There are so many philosophies on the end of the world these days concerning the new pope. One includes that Benedict will be the last pope and after him the anti-Christ will come.
But I say don't worry about, if it comes it comes. There's no purpose in living in fear.

That is one thing my grandma is worried about. There have been several signs that she has noticed that this might be the last days. It wouldd't be all that surprising for the Anti-Christ to come through the Church. Well.....not to me anyway, at least in my religious beliefs(hmmm....is that spelt right...)

No offence, but you're a bloody fool if you honestly believe that an "Anti-Christ" is going emerge and destroy the world.
