"I'm curious, what is the truth there. I don't like the idea that he fought for the Germans when we just had a Pope who was persecuted by them."

Well, there was this Pharasee named Saul who stood by as Stephen was stoned. (First Chritian martyr, BTW).

Saul turned out OK.

I'm on FR and not in front of the tv. I hope someone else posts whatever it is.

He was forced into it. The MSM will re-write history and declare him a ringleader...

Just checked out the fever swamp. Plenty of "now we have a Nazi Pope, re-start the Inquisition" type posts. They never let us down.

Keep it up Nit Wits over at the DU

Catholics WILL remember these comments!

McBrien is on ABC. He sounds crushed.

Well, that's worth breaking my ABC boycott for.

I stupidly had on EWTN where I only got to hear jubilation. There's nothing like listening to a let down liberal to make my heart soar.

Why are they so outraged?. Also, the Popes choose their name in accordance of their vision for their Papacy. It is if Ratzinger chose Benedict is because he is going to be in the same line than the previous Benedicts. Does someone happen to know what line is that?.

I am so thankful to be alive to witness this joyous moment w/all the freepers and Catholics everywhere this day! God the Holy Spirit in HIS wisdom has given the CHURCH a worthy successor to his good and faithful servant, Pope John Paul II. God bless us all this joyous day.

Only Satan would suit the DUmmies

ROFL. Nah...to conservative. Besides you'd have to actually acknowledge there is a God.

I thought about it, but then I thought "What the heck I'll just keep the job I have now". I mean I'd have to get a passport, getting to the airport is such a hassle. Just not worth it.

Interesting. The Benedictines ( and St. Malachi?) predicted Pope #267 would come from their order and the new pope names himself Benedict 16.

Comments?

Is he Benedictine?

As a Florida voter who voted for Laz, I have been disenfranchised. I knew that stone tablet they gave me as a ballot wasn't gonna burn right.

...God does work in His own way...


Absolutely! Look at the world attention this election has gotten. Everyone knows that the world benefits from a strong (holy) leader of the Church.
