Though I'm unconvinced he is the right person for the job - in this day and age of stupid, trailer trash society, somebody who fully embraces the media might have been a better bet (anyone remember a certain Mr Blair?)

Are you sudgesting he should be the Pope?
I think Mr Blair thinks he should be a rank or 2 higher than the Pope  :-X

An interesting challenge that.  I know what you're saying but should someone in his position be beholden to the media?  Not that I think The Papacy is a valid position you understand. ;)

In the modern world an organisations leader is also a public figure. As a public figure the media and its ability to access great areas of the planet is a reality and one you MUST be aware of and deal will effectively.

So yes, it comes with the modern day job sadly.

He could of worded the said statement so much better

Methinks this is some sort of attempt at humour regarding His Holiness the Pope's comments.

IMHO not in the least funny.

I agree.

Sometimes you have to shock in order for your words to be taken in.  Sadly, the media have no method of monitoring the actual take-up or understanding of the population at large.  It is quite conceivable that the majority will understand and accept what he says but the opposite will be reported.  If that were the case then he's done the right thing (according to his beliefs, that is).

This Pope is a liability and definately does not appeal to non Catholics

Everyone liked JP2 :y  including non Catholics

Why are there never crowds like this for the Arch Bishop of Canterbury?
