OK, I really must get some sleep and let this most glorious of a day end, but I am delighted with this
portion of the final paragraph:


"One of the surprising aspects of the elevation of Benedict XVI is that the most liberal College of Cardinals in history elected the most conservative prelate among them to be their leader. This reflects an institutional self-evaluation in which cardinals decided it was necessary to scale back some 1960s reforms."

AMEN.

The Cardinals have elected the right man.
We are blessed.

Good night everybody

Placemark for later. Thanks for the ping. You sleep well! I'm headed that way.

Cardinal Ratzinger at 78 was barely young enough to vote for, or be considered for, Pope. I think the College of Cardinals elected their own 'placeholder'.

How can a Hitler's Youth be the "right man?"

This is not good
at all.

Onyx,

I am going to make your day today. :-) Read Psalm 2 and Romans 1. The HS gave me these this morning concerning the election of the Pope. Read the headlines on this forum and read the scriptures. Peace.

Oh, that's excellent. I'm saving it, I think I'll be needing it!

Why has Onyx's account been "banned or suspended"? A member since 1999??
