Not the choice that would send me running back to mass. But I'm not the demographic they're seeking to appeal to anyway.

Ratzinger = Benedict the šestnásť

I like the way the number 16 sounds in Slovak. Shessnoz!
It's the only number that doubles as a way to scare a cat.

It is God's will that this man has appeared at this exact time:

It's absolutely perfect. PER-FECT. I am trying to develop the ability to draw caricatures, and "Pope Rat" is an unbelievably easy choice. He's the moral leper behind the last Pope, so i will not feel too bad about drawing him (eventually) as an anthropomorphic sewer rat.

That's the first thought I had too. Maybe he likes Hollandaise? :D

You do realize, don't you, that said breakfast entree was named after its inventor, who was also a well known figure from the American revolution.
