NEW POPE
This about 10mins ago... Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger from Germany is the new Bishop of Rome, henceforth known as Pope Benedict XVI. Pope John Paul's right hand man, it's no real surprise that he was elected as Pope, and of course shares the same conservative nature of his predecessor. While no real surprise to me, I for one am disappointed with the choice of pope, since with Ratzinger's election all hope that the Church might actually take a step forward for one of the few times in its almost 2000 year history is gone. I'm not going to say anything further until I think about this some more, but I don't think my opinions will make me a very popular person.
