Amen to your last line from a Lutheran. Once I heard the Cardinal whose job it was to introduce him say the name Joseph, I knew it was Ratzinger. I magine my embarassment if it had been another Joseph.:) Anyway, I'm going back to see who first posted the papal name.
"Anyway, I'm going back to see who first posted the papal name."
There was plenty of speculatin and hopes and prayers leading up to your post...but YOU were the one who actually said that it is in fact Ratzinger....so you made a small piece of history here at FR. Well done.
