The Sith Emperor vs Pope Benedict

  Why is it that whenever I hear or read anything about Pope Benedict, it always seems to be negative?  First it was that time when he made a speech quoting from old Byzantine text which basically referred to Islam as violent and evil.  He said it was taken out of context and misinterpreted but it was a mistake a pope should never make.  Doesn't he have ghost writers or something to tell him what to say?  Then there was that buzz about him wearing red Prada loafers and Gucci glasses, which coincidentally happened during the time when The Devil Wears Prada was released.  Anyway, I don't think there's any Catholic priest out there who actually takes their vow of poverty seriously.  Next he condemns Harry Potter, which we all know is a FICTIONAL CHILDREN'S BOOK.  He should ban the reading of Shakespeare while he's at it, there're a lot of nasty demonic creatures there.  And now, he wants pop and rock to be banned from Church and to return to the Gregorian Chants and old-school choirs - when in fact it was that same boring sh*t that people tried to avoid in the first place.

I honestly don't think he's going to get any street cred for being so damn conservative.  (That right now sound like an oxymoron - a conservative priest wearing Prada?)  I can't help but imagine him being the Sith Emperor in Star Wars, they kind of look the same anyway.
