Then, in the strictest sense, you haven't spoken with any Catholics.

okay, so it sounds awfully presumptuous, taking a look back at it now. I was going to write a big long shpiel on why I still think most people don't care, but its an opinion based on my own dealings with Catholics who can't even seem to remember the Pope's name.

I'm formerly catholic and couldn't give a rat about the Pope and his ideas, but that's only because I'm atheist .

Catholic who actually follow the teachings of the religion (a tiny minority mind you) actually care about what the Pope says and doesn't say. That's the basis of catholicism, that whole religion is built around this character. If you don't know his name, then you're not a true catholic.
