Pope Benedict XVI and the Cryptkicker 5
In the interest of fairness, we will not confine our wackadoodle religious news to the Hindis today. Equal time to the Roman Catholics!
As you can see from this photo op, the Pope and his band of merry men are on their way to the crypts beneath the Vatican to pray at the tomb of Pope Pius XII. The present pontiff wants Pius XII to be beatified on his way to becoming a saint.
In case you didn't know Pope Pius XII has a bad rep and has been criticized for not doing more to help the Jews during the Holocaust.
The current pope explained that away by saying his predecessor acted 'silently' to save as many Jews as possible. Yeah, real silently.

I remember Pius XII was Pope when I was in grammar school. Just looking at his picture made me think, I guess being a Catholic aint supposed to be a whole lot of fun.
Misery? Sign me up!
