God bless the Pope (emeritus)

Emeritus. There’s a word that’s suddenly jumped into many people’s vocabularies in the last couple months.

Most people who’ve spent long enough time on the internet, on the various image and video websites are used to anonymous people in the comment boxes on these sites making snide, impolite, often deliberately offensive comments designed, no doubt, to prove how infinitely stupid and uninformed they themselves are. Having read some downright nasty comments made on the former Pope, Benedict XVI, who was unfortunate enough to be handed the burden of the clerical sexualabuse scandal in the early noughties (while yet a Cardinal), I decided to post this nice old hymn from Youtube.

God bless the Pope, the great, the good.
