WE HAVE A POPE!!!
Amazon.com is currently sold out of Pope Benedict's (Cardinal Ratzinger's) books, but they can still be obtained at Ignatius Press, 1-800-651-1531
They have a website, but it's slow as molasses
http://www.ignatius.com
Probably from Boettener and his ilk or Chick Publications.
Yes.
Yesterday I made a post along the lines of "forget Ratzinger".
Shows you how much I know.
Any thoughts on the name and likely longevity?
Humility with a core.
I love our new Pope.
Read this and enjoy!

Me, too. Slow as molasses.
"Latest tally on CNN:"
...and Satan's minions could be heard gnashing their teeth!
LOL!!!!
Shrinking away... thank you.
Well, what's funny is how they allow themselves and their emotions to get drawn into anticipatory fantasies of a liberal hippy free-love/situation-ethics pope being elected. In psychology, this is known as "projection."
They read their own internal fantasies into reality. It's certainly possible (theoretically) that something could go wildly wrong and a Hugh Hefner type could sneak through the college of cardinals via the secret society networks and turn the Vatican into a Playboy Mansion in Rome. But, contrary to liberal hopes, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN this time.
Boo-hoo hoo!

Thank you onyx!
Well... that could mean anything. He wasn't my first pick BUT it is CNN after all.
No Ratzinger didn't. Lustiger did. He converted at the age of 14.
Dear Darkwolf,
LOL. Yeah. Well, in my household, we're hoping that our beloved new Holy Father will be the Hammer of the Heretics.

Amen to that, from your lips to God's ears. It's about time for them to be called to task.

He's truly humble.
I couldn't be more pleased, grateful, thankful,... just joyous!
Well at least there won't be talk of women priests and a condom free-for-all for a while. So let the meds flow.. I think they'll need it intravenously ;-)
As Cardinal Ratzinger, though senior in years, he's had enormous power and influence for a very long time. He's really amazing. And now to see him named Pope, well!
