Only the Left, which seeks to make man's lusts and passions "God", does not want God. They just got informed (again) that God is here anyway.

Most excellent observations, friend.

Well, they knew that the pro-liberal malcontents were not the Church anymore, they rarely attend, attack it every chance, and they are essentially CINO (Catholic In Name Only--I know I'm wearing out the xINOs, but this definitely applies), so they made the decision based on the holy spirit, although I'm sure that they had in mind someone that truly represents the flock, the loyal Catholics...

O.S.B. = Order of St. Benedict...

Could there be a name more apt than Benedict for someone so
well-spoken?
To: royalcello
I think it would. The danger is the number of American Catholics who have already lost the Faith. The numbers are significant. They would go with a schism and we would see a full counter church almost instantly. The wheat and the tares would be exposed.
The SSPX and independents are already used to Mass in exile. I suspect(hope) if that happened, and probably before, Ratzinger would unite the trad factions in a second. Along with FSSP and ICK we could pick up numbers given a higher visibility. The Catholic clergy left in Rome know who is loyal and who is not, despite their disagreements.
Ratzinger will have to choose. There can no longer be a middle ground.
To: MadIvan
I agree...and I'm not Catholic but I still rejoice at the selection of the new Pope. May God guide him in being the voice that may save ALL Christian churches.

Everyone should know what the rock is. It isn't Peter.

You're not making any sense. This is a happy occasion, so I'll ignore your obvious weirdness.

"Progress" & "Democracy" (the Allies) and Tradition & Monarchy (the Central Powers), a conflict in which as a monarchist I stand firmly with the latter, as do all true conservatives. So you support monarchies over democracy.
Interesting.
Not to say support of democracy, but one could conclude that you would have called the founding fathers evil for fighting against "tradition and monarchy".

At this rate, Cardinal Ratzinger added, we will no longer "be able to affirm that homosexuality, as the Catholic Church teaches, is an objective disorder of the structure of human existence." Is that what the church taught?

"Ratzinger is a Benedictine???!!"
Not that I know of. However, I am convinced that the reason he has taken the name Benedict is that St. Benedict is the patron saint of Europe and JPII was consistently invoking him for the re-evangelisation of Europe.
I'm sure this will be at the heart of Ratzinger's agenda. Time to clean out the filth!
