No, I'm not seriously advocating that President Obama should become the next Pope, but at the same time I think the Roman Catholic Church could do a lot worse (like the current guy) and that maybe the next time they get around to voting for a High Pontiff they actually choose someone who doesn't have his head (or someone/thing else) up his ass.
It truly is remarkable that not even a few years have gone by and we've already seen another major head of state (Benedict the 16th) screw things up far beyond and point or recognition. What's been going on in Ireland with the abuse and downright sexual torture of young boys all these years makes what happened at Abu Ghraib look like a Tea Party by comparison.
And then there's the familiar inability to accept the reality of the situation, the cover-ups and attacks on anyone (NYTimes) who shines a light into the dark and dirty corners of the Church's soul. Clearly George W. Bush would have been outstanding Papal material if he had gone into the Church instead of the string of failed careers he pursued -- although to be fair, I think Dick Cheney and Benedict the 16th are a bit more kindred spirits.
