Pope’s Popularity
Plunges
Rape enablers often have a PR problem
Benny the Rat went into Easter weekend with abysmal
poll numbers.
If this were an election year for the Pope (ha
ha) it would be a bad sign.
Only fifteen percent of Americans view Pope
Benedict favorably..
Among Catholics, or twenty-seven percent, view him favorably.
Wow - can you believe that?
How can you be a Catholic and disapprove of the
Pope?
This is bad for The Pope as it indicates a deterioration in his power within the Church.
But he's the Pope!
The Pope’s poll numbers are dropping in large
part because of his lack of handling
the sex abuse scandal that is currently rocking
the Roman Catholic Church.
Sixty-six percent of Americans believe he has
mishandled that scandal.
Only thirteen percent say he has been doing a
good job on it.
So what's next for the Pope?
Does he continue his Dick Cheney mode of deny,
deny, deny?
