Rebound Pope
pope by thebitingfaery

Classic signs of a rebound relationship - this new guy was meant to be kept at arm's length. Ex-Hitler Youth, former Grand Inquisitor of the church, he's 78 years old - this is designed to be a short-term relationship with no emotions involved. He is The Rebound Pope.

JPII is a tough act to follow. He was like Grandpa - people loved him even though his political views are stuck in the 1800s. "Aww, he's just an old man, I can't expect him to keep up with modern thought!" This new guy, his nickname was "the panzer cardinal", for crying out loud, he's going to be like your crazy great-uncle that no one wants to sit next to at Thanksgiving.

Some irreverant Live Journal-based New Pope Humor.

I love that. The "Rebound" pope. Very creative.

One conservative blogger I enjoy reading wrote that getting Benedict XVI after JPII is "the religious equivalent of having had four terms of George W. Bush only to find that his successor as president is Karl Rove."

BTW, Did you figure out what program to use for making icons? I'm still dabbling in it but getting nowhere fast.

I used Fireworks (3, in case you're curious) to make a pair of LJ icons, recently. Too bad Adobe's prob'ly gonna kill Fireworks. Bah.
