Poll shows widespread European indifference to the reign of Ratzinger Mar 7th 2013, 01:15 http://www.secularnewsdaily.com/2013...+News+Daily%29 Good to see the rcc being treated the way it should be.... Quote: Most people think that Pope Benedict XVI – who ceased to be head of the Catholic Church last week – and his leading Catholic bishops have not been influential in their societies. That's according to YouGov's latest EuroTrack survey, which tracks public opinion in Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Asked how much notice they think leading politicians have paid to the views of Pope Benedict and Catholic bishops in their respective countries, a majority of people in every country surveyed say either "not much" or "none at all". In Britain, 71% say Pope Benedict has not been influential, while only 9% say he was and 21% are undecided. Amongst British Roman Catholics, 78% say politicians have not paid attention to the views of Pope Benedict, while 17% say they have and 4% aren't sure. In predominantly Roman Catholic France, 61% of people believe the Pope has not been influential compared to 18% who believe he has been, and 21% who are undecided. Also, a majority of people in every country except for Germany say leading politicians in their respective countries were right to not pay much notice to the Pope's views.
