Will America Get Bene-Dicked by New Pope?

This is my first time seeing a Pope get elected, so I've been intrigued by the process and more importantly the reactions from people around the world and around the net. The CNN/Gallup poll has been pretty interesting...

Nearly three-quarters of American Catholics say they are more likely to follow their own conscience on "difficult moral questions," rather than the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll...

In addition, more than half of those polled, 56 percent, said they were bothered by the pope's opposition to birth control. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters, 72 percent, said the age of the 78-year-old pope didn't bother them.

Gawker has had some great "in-depth" Pope coverage, check out their collection of bloglines from around the net.

Daily Kos: "It's a great day to be a Nazi!"

Free Republic: "Ratzinger a Nazi? Don't believe it."

Metafilter: "Listen to that crowd. This is almost exciting as a Jobs keynote at Macworld."

Fucked Company: "This Pope will last 7 years, world ends in 2012."

But the big question still remains unanswered: How is this going to effect the US Catholic church? From the Gallup poll, it seems we Americans are a stubborn bunch, I just think he's just gonna piss off a bunch of American Catholics.
