cnn, bbc, all the major news networks

Ratzinger now Pope Benedict the XVI

[lithe]

he doesn't look much livelier than john paul, ha.

the crowd shots are incredible though... it's weird to realize what a huge role the church plays in so many lives, especially from a western, liberal, entirely secularized perspective.

maybe this is a good sign for my religious studies/origins of christianity exam tomorrow! papal support!

[mapleleaf4ever]

That's some pretty stylin' Robes he's got on too!

I wonder how they chose the Popes name... like John Paull II, Benedict the XVI etc? I mean that's quite the stretch from Ratzinger to Benedict. You think they call him Benny for short?

Yo God, it's Benny here...

[wum]

"may Mary be on our side"

He might as well invoke the fertility goddess

[lithe]

he said that? how did i miss that?

maybe he will be somewhat more progressive than john paul in terms of the role of women in the church.

[Cdn_Brdr]

I heard that a fellow named Giovanni Sicola was in the running for pope too.... had he been elected he would have been Pope Sicola....

/lame joke :(

78 isnt too old to be Pope. Its just Pope John Paul II was way to young at age 58 to become Pope, Popes arent supposed to last 26 years, they want someone to only be in papacy for a short period of time.

[Cdn_Brdr]
