I expect our local Catholic girls high school will be in mourning, it is run by very liberal nuns.
I am expecting that Benedict will make more than one liberal cry...I wonder if he will be able to do anything about the travesty that is Notre Dame?
Well, they are welcome to 'pack up' and move on to another 'more progressive' institution.
Close the door on your way out and have a nice trip :)
Oh man! I was in the office at the Church and everyone was in the priest's office. Sister was horrified and so was our priest (he's conservative but he thinks priests should be able to get married, he's also sick and in a bad ass mood). I defended Ratzinger a little and they didn't want to hear and then I went back to my office and jumped up and down for joy. I thanked God heartily. I didn't pray for Ratzinger, I have just been praying to the Holy Spirit to come and renew the face of the earth.
