With a vote swifter than I had imagined, Pope Benedict XVI is now the leader of the Catholic Church. The way the media is portraying him means they must realy fear him. Seems (from what I have read) he is from the same mold as John Paul II. Hardcore traditionalist. Nothing wrong with tradition. All this 'adjusting with the times' garbage is just that, garbage. Progress is good, yes. But change for change's sake is tedioius at best and incredibly harmful or damaging at worst.
For an interesting history on his papal name, this is an interesting link: Pope Benedict XVI: What's In Two Names?
Excellent.
