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.
