Discuss. 

I'm sure this will devolve into a hatefilled idiot fest pretty quick.

Hopefully not.

The big problem with Benedict XVI is that people will invariably compare him to St. John Paul II, who is the most well known Pope in the 2,000 year history of the Church.  And, for so many Catholics, St. JP2 is the only Pope they've known as adults, which will color how they feel about him.

I think it's too early to judge his Papacy, but he has done a good job so far, although I dislike some of his views.

Simon called Peter...call on line two...paging Simon called Peter...

Eh...about as positive as I'm willing to feel towards a Pope.

He's definitely not as bad as he could've been, and I applaud him for praying in the Blue Mosque and his continuing efforts to reach out to Orthodox Christianity.
