We have a new Pope!
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected today as Pope Benedict XVI.
That was a very short conclave! There are mix reviews of the new Pope but I believe he was a very good choice. Ratzinger is a very staunch believer in classic Catholicism. He was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Basically, his job was to be the leader for the protection of the Church’s doctrine. For all the liberals that complain about the Churches refusal to “modernize” he’s the man behind the scenes keeping you from getting your way!
That’s why I think he was the right choice. Now more than ever Catholics need a strong Pope that will keep the faith and refuse to cave to American liberalisms push to change the Church. Religion is something you follow as is. It’s not a buffet where you can pick and choose what you like and skip what you don’t. It’s all or nothing here folks.
Anyways, we’re in a new era and it’s very exciting to see where we go from here.
