Cardinal Ratzinger was the chief doctrinal enforcer and educator for the Vatican. He is definitely a conservative. This is a great day for the Catholic church.

Here is a link to the text of his homily at JPII's funeral.

Keep in mind ya'll, that his birth name now is not the proper way to address him, he is now Benedict XVI. That will take getting used to because been used to my whole life referring to "John Paul our Pope" in the Eurcharistic prayer at mass. At least as far as his birth name, its a lot less likely for me to botch than Wojltoa, or however John Paul II's last name was spelled (Polish names really get me stumped)..
