Cardinal Ratzinger is 78!

Update! Pope Ratbag I (Cardinal Razinger/Pope Benedict XVI) is 78! I hope he dies early! *thumbs up*

Ratzinger? POPE? Catholocism is screwed!

Horrible, horrible, ghastly news! Cardinal Ratzinger, the Panzer Cardinal, Joe the Rat, has been elected Pope, and named Pope Benedict XVI!

This ultraconservative psychopath will only doom Catholocism! He will alienate more followers than his predecessor John Paul II!

I hope that Catholo-Nazi falls into a vat of sulfuric acid!!!!

Which is Better: DVD Audio or SACD?

Over the past couple of years, there has been argument over what audio format should supplant Audio CD. I would argue that DVD Audio is the more suitable successor. SACD requires a special player, whereas most people have a DVD player already. DVD Audio uses an audio format that uses 24-bit samples at approximately 96 KHz, SACD uses a rather ridiculous 1-bit sample/2,822,400 Hz audio format called Direct Stream Digital. Finally, while hybrid SACDs have a standard Audio CD layer which allows their use in standard Audio CD players, it also means that the SACD layer goes unused. Ergo, by the arguments above, I think that DVD Audio is the superior format.

Was John Paul II the Best Pope? That's Debateable.

While John Paul II was ceartainly the most charismatic and most well travelled Pope, and he did try to concile with the Jews and the Muslims, he was staunchly dogmatic. He stood firm on the Catholic doctrines of a purely male priesthood and the ban on contraception. He was also slow to respond to the pedophilia of certain American priests, but that may have been because of his age. His views made me ashamed to be a Catholic. When that man's corpse is laid into the ground today, I shall think no better of him. Good-bye, and good riddance. Here's to a more progressive Pope. *clink*
