• Ratzinger becomes Pope Benedict XVI. 20/04/2005. ABC News Online: The Roman Catholic Church has elected Germany's Joseph Ratzinger as Pope, asking him to guide its 1.1 billion followers around the world into a new era. Interesting double-think here... they've elected a hard line conservative who had a major role in all of the current church policies anyway... then said he'll lead the church into a new era. He might lead it, but there'll be nothing new happening. I also can't quite get over the 'Crowd reaction' segment of this article:Sister Lydia, a nun, jumped up and down on a chair clapping in uncontrolled excitement. 'I prayed for a new pope today at the tomb of the Holy Father (the late John Paul II) and now we have one,' she beamed. ....errr.... she prayed for a new pope during conclave. What are the chances of her prayers being answered...!
