The pope's silly use (and then over use) of "time is greater than space" shows what an amateur thinker he is in contrast to Pope Benedict. 

He first states it...yet never providing support for his assertion...and then in the next document he states that "SINCE time is greater than space"!

He's like a self-citing sociologist, who coins a term in one document and then cites approvingly in the next cheap journal article he writes as if it were fact!
