No, I'm not a conservative, i'm kind of an "old hippie",(in fact I'm an old Rajneeshee)...

Once in a while, in my belief, a person comes along who has attained the ultimate state of human awareness. Such a person is what is called a "Living Buddha". I believe that the Pope may have been such a person. Unfortunately, he did't do all that he could have because evan the Pope is bound by rules and traditions ( a pope may be deposed if he soesn't act in the Church's best interest,) and he could do much more where he was (as the most influental religious leader in the world) than he could do as a defrocked ex-pope...
