A nun who was ordered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to stop ministering to gays and lesbians...

I rather doubt that the nun was told to stop ministering to anyone. She was probably instructed to stop making stupid comments about the positives in homosezual "marriage" or the beauty of same sex relationships.

YES!
I am all for celebrating with some adult beverages!

Think I'll go grab a Miller Lite since that's all we have on hand.

She's an EX-nun who refused correction and left the church. Why does the MSM have to feature her opinion on a glorious day when a new Holy Father is chosen? No bias here?

This guy is only going to be around for a few years and we'll have to do this whole thing over again.

You have no idea how long he will last.

People routinely live to 100 these days, and some of them are pretty sharp.

Sister Jeannine Gramick

Whoa - For a split second, this name struck me as Sister Jeannine Garafalo. Too freaky to think about.

Looks like the liberals are going to demonize this Pope.

They are guided by the Holy Spirit.
The right man was chosen.
He may very well live beyond his 100 year.


LONG LIVE POPE BENEDICT XVI

Surfing the net and the comments about His Holiness are absolutely devastatingly cruel and ugly.

I will definitely pray and fast for this man because Satan is not happy with this choice.

I'm just curious as to why they didn't pick a younger conservative as pope. This guy is only going to be around for a few years and we'll have to do this whole thing over again.

Speculation was that they might pick an older guy because they didn't want another 25-to-30-year papacy for the same reasons most other organizations/political entities don't want the same leader for very long periods: They acquire too much power and their influence is overwhelming. By the time JPII died, he'd appointed all but something like three of the cardinals in the entire world.

A nun who was ordered by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to stop ministering to gays and lesbians called his election as pope "devastating" for those who believe the Catholic Church needs to be more tolerant on social issues such as homosexuality.

Oh, how nice!

A 1999 opinion signed by Ratzinger said Gramick and Nugent's teachings were "erroneous and dangerous" and that they "caused confusion among the Roman Catholic people." Both were ordered to end their ministry. Nugent conceded but Gramick chose to continue speaking out, eventually leaving her religious order.

Apparently she didn't think being a catholic nun required her to teach catholic doctrine. Silly former nun.
