Cardinal Ratzinger was the Grand Inquisitor for John Paul II and thus a guardian of Catholic doctrine.

This is the biggest falling away from Christ's path. He is absolutely correct.

I woke up at 4:30 and caught portions of his homily. He spoke of all the 'isms' that have come and gone over the past 2000 years and recalled the words of St. Paul with regard to placing our trust in Christ alone. It was an awesome homily. Hopefully, I'll be able to post it to the forum later.

Agreed. At his age Ratzinger could only be a transitional Pope, but he would be a rock on which to build for the future. I wish him well, and may the Holy Spirit guide the conclave as well as in the election of John Paul II.

I am definitely not claiming to be directly guided by the Holy Ghost in this, but it sure seems to me that it would be a good thing for the Church if the Panzerkardinal became the Panzerpope.
