is pope benedict xvi a good pope?

He's a pope. So, no.

I don't see Protestant leaders fearlessly telling Muslems that faith without reason leads to violence. They are too scared.

I don't see Protestant leaders meeting face to face with abuse victims....the media forgets to mention Protestant clergy abuse....its too boring to write about.

.oh...I forgot. Protestants don't have leaders.

Oh yea, the Pope was enscripted into the German youth movement in high school, like everybody else who had no choice, well before Germany went off the rails. He got out at the risk of being charged with desertion. And Hitler made Lutheranism the state religion, but nobody screams at the Lutherans. Karl Marx, responsible for the death of 70 million people, was a Jew. But nobody screams at Jews over it.

It's the Holy Spirit that pics the Pope through the discernment and vote of the College of Cardinals. Blame Him.

You appear to think that it is enjoyable to live within the middle of a crumbling museum. The mission of the Catholic Church is to proclaim and set up the kingdom of God begun with the aid of Jesus Christ amongst all peoples. The Church endeavors to avoid wasting souls. Preserving the helpful art to be had on the Vatican in trust for all mankind to come, see, and inspire belief within the Kingdom of God is part of this mission. The Church might be capable to elevate a few billion bucks by way of selling the whole lot but that may soon be long past and the arena would no longer be much . Especially if mankind does now not trade for the easier. Each the ancient and New testament says that it is the mission of all mankind (together with you and me) to like our neighbors as much as we adore ourselves. It is our job to discontinue poverty and create justice and peace. If each man or women on the earth gave $10 then $60 billion would be raised. If the one thousand million people within the richest international locations gave one $a hundred every then $one hundred billion could be raised. No longer only do these riches make the Vatican artwork collections seem paltry, this is only a fraction of what can rather be raised if men and women acquired their priorities straight. You and i and the leisure of humanity can do so much far more to "help men and women" than the Vatican can all with the aid of itself. We need to stop making excuses for our selfishness with the aid of pushing the blame on to the Catholic Church. With love in Christ.

He was in the Hitler Youth Army and violated others. He was taught to hate millions of people, so how the catholic church can choose him for a pope is bewildering. Perhaps it simply tells us much about the catholic church. A good pope? They may as well of used hitler's burnt up corpse.

He is really intelligent. You should read his writings, they are very challenging.

I still remember his Holiness Pope John Paul II, and miss him dearly.

God bless.

Is there such thing as a "good" pope?

He was a Nazi. And now leads the most domineering international organization in the world.
