A new Pope has been selected. The Holy Father is now German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger whom will now be known as Pope Benedict XVI. I think this is a very political decision as it appears to be more based on lobbying for a resurgence of Church prominence as a political instiution rather than the best choice of person for the Pope or meeting the spiritual needs of its most ardent followers. Admittedly I'm not a papal scholar and I'm bitter about the the Pope not being African but it wasn't my call to make to make.
Glückwünsche!
