For what it's worth, and seriously, no joke -- I don't think Rogers should give benedictxvi.com to the Vatican.
I think the domain should be used for an independently-authored weblog about the policies and actions of the new Pope by someone who is expert in the papacy and independent of the Catholic Church.
What an opportunity to get serious visibility for weblogs as a source of news and perspective. Imho, it's not about heaven and hell, eternal damnation or Rogers's grandmother.
The church is a hugely powerful political, social and economic force, and its actions are controversial and deserve some visibility, and MSM isn't doing its job.
And for the new Pope, it's a chance to participate in history. It's the kind of thing you might imagine his predecessor really going for, until of course it got a story he didn't want them to get.
