According to this article, anyway.
Evidently, preaching about '"darkness" threatening the world in the form of war, oppression and hate. ' makes one 'downbeat'. I couldn't spot the 'gloom and doom' the headline promises, but I did see some typical media spin here:
The conservative Benedict, though less warm and spontaneous than his predecessor, has drawn similar-sized crowds so far in his young papacy, according to Vatican figures, though the numbers are falling.
No need to worry about any facts here - just ominous warnings about what being less warm and spontaneous than JPII (as well as conservative) will get you.
Happy birthday, Holy Father!
