if you're interested, I checked over at the Democratic Underground board to see their reaction- you can pretty much guess...

Haven't followed DU much. Has DU entirely pushed out all the ethnic Catholic KofC types like myself who wished they could call themselves Dems, but for that party's glaring neglect of the unwanted unborn?

The DU gang is claiming that Papa Ratzi is part of the global neo-con conspiracy.

Yeah, there's even one guy who's blaming Bush for the new Pope.......

I've had my Ratzinger Fan Club coffee mug at work for nearly a year now. The people in my office think I'm a freakin' genius!!

Go, Pope Benedict XVI!

cj - me too. I sent over a photo of my mug and my t-shirt to our corp office conservatives who will use it to lovingly tease the liberals who aren't so pleased with the choice for the new pope. No ill will - good friends - friendly tease.

But they simply can't believe that I, as a women, can respect BXVI.

We exist - real women for Benedict.

I believe it's working now, however might be a bit wobbly depending on traffic from press coverage. . . . when he walked out onto the balcony we went under and later I found out why: 300,000+ visitors to the website that day. Who would have thought when I had created it back in 2000?

Anyway, if you can't get to it, try PopeBenedictXVIFanClub. It's a little sparse on content at the moment but we're working on it . . .
