A NW1 is something that will MAKE your looks. Imagine if he was bald in those first two pictures, you'd probably see him as ugly. But instead he is this charming, good-looking young / middle-aged priest.
Don't give up the fight everyone. I've seen the other side... it's a horrible place of self-denial. Go onto slickbald or whatever it is, and you'll see them convincing themselves that they're better looking without hair blah blah blah.
Look at that first picture of him. That is teen magazine heart throb material. And the second is easily Hollywood wise-man material.
But Pope Benedict XVI is an excellent man. People who insist on bashing the Pope have nothing meaningful or intelligent to say, they're usually just a mouthpiece for the anti-Catholic left. Anyone who really knows the facts would be more balanced in their approach.
I can't see the second picture, it says something in French I think.
Imo I think in the 1st picture he is ugly. I like the pope a lot, I think he's a great man and very good for the Church, much needed after the scandal started breaking out. He is brilliant and seems to legitimately care for the world. He's made great strides toward Christian unity. As a Catholic, and former seminarian, I like him a lot.

Yeah, it can't possibly be that they're horrified by his involvement in the cover-up of child abuse (there's no denying that the Church actively protects rapists), or his organisation's contributions to the spread of HIV in third-world nations, or its abhorrent views on gay rights...
The better question is, would anyone defend people like that if they were not religious leaders? We don't give anyone else that kind of leeway. Who's really too brainwashed to be objective, here? In what way is he an "excellent man"?
