I think a lot of the lack of interest here darthuv isn't because of the Pope himself. First- it's too much. Too much on the news. To much saturation. Second- the clothing needed just dosn't exist. Show me a priest robe for M2 ? Third- the very nature of artist tends to make them non-conformist. The number of wicca, athiest, pagens, ect is FAR higher then in the normal population. Just the way it is. Plus protestants in the US and Europe far out number Catholics. Maby not in the whole world but in the richer countries that can afford (more) computers. To give you an example of what I mean NBC reported (at different times) that there are 66 million Catholics in America. But there are also 51 million athiest in the US too!!! Very close in numbers. And a 120 million "Others- Wicca, Pagens, Agnostics, Jews ect...". The rest are fundamentalist protestant aprox (90-100 million). So you see, the excessive wall to wall news coverage just gives em something to talk about other then Bush endlessly. But is NOT a major part of most peoples lives. Just the way it is! This is not a christian bashing post- but it is the country we live in. And it is why there is such a lack of interest. This is also why the current business practices around here have me stumped. Cutting off there nose despite there face.
