You know the Conclave did well when they picked someone that the media will absolutely loathe. Note the seething in the first line of the Reuters "news story" about the new pope:
"VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the strict defender of Catholic orthodoxy for the past 23 years, was elected Pope on Tuesday despite a widespread assumption he was too old and divisive to win election."
Someone should tell these losers that unanimity of thought within the Reuters staff does NOT, per se, constitute "a widespread assumption".
As Jesus said, we can only hurt ourselves. The media sets the traps that lead people away from God, but if our faith is strong, it matters not a lick what Reuters thinks...
Rejoice!!!
