My word, Sky News just mentioned that the Holy Father had won an award earlier this year, "The St. Benedict Award for Life and Family". The Left is going to choke on its own bile.

On Fox there was a priest talking to Chris Wallace, and he said he used to bring university students on tours to the Vatican, and Cardinal Ratzinger would always meet with them. He always knew what their names are, and which universtiy, Princeton, Michigan State, whatever...he knew.

He also said that he would often give directions to tourists looking to see where the papal residence was, and none of the tourists ever knew he was so important in the Vatican.

Apparently he is a humble, kind man who is very smart. I think it is an excellent choice.

Just read the DU thread on the new Pope...they are going nuts.
