Oh. Sorry, I misread. Apparently, he had some signs of health problems, and health care was not as good for the popes before John Paul II.

Not many outside of Poland were filled with unbridled enthusiasm for JPII when he first became Pope.LOL, especially in The Kremlin.

I am hoping that BXVI is a complete surprise! Define surprise.

The Cardinals were wise enough, thank the Holy Spirit, to avoid all the hollow modernists from America, France and Benelux.

I was young then, but you know...I think you're right. Most people had no idea about him. I think they were just happy to have a pope, and hopeful he'd be around for a while, after such a brief reign.
And he sure did stay with us a while!

"It should have been a Latino," said Gloria Vazquez, a 50-year-old housewife in Tegucigalpa. Yet she answered the call of the bells to a Mass in honor of the new pope at the Honduran capital's little cathedral. "What are we going to do?" she asked. "We're Catholics."
...uh...yes, we're Catholics.
Further words escape me.

All of Italy was not in St. Peter's square cheering today, either. Looked to me like the Square was packed like Sardinians. Your point, as if I did not know?

Define surprise. Defying expectations.

It would not be unheard of that a person lived till the age of 93, and does not lose any mental acuity.Especially with some of the very best medical care in the world and the grace of God going with him.

Their wishes would have been more considered if they had been using their envelopes.

Well, I'm one of the disappointed. I had hoped that they would have gone beyond another monochromatic face. Considering that the largest population of Catholics are non-white. Instead, they pick someone whom not only was part of the Hitler youth corp but an ally with Islam.
Dis me if you must but this is my feeling and am very sadden at the choice. I do not rejoice. Had they gone beyond the monochromatics, they would have proven that they are truly Catholic.. where color of one skin does not matter and encompass universality.

God's promise is that He will protect the Church from harm.God must have been playing golf when Cardinal Law (et al) shuffled the pedophile fag deck.

Martin Luther had some good points in his objections to the corruption in the Church of his time. Rather than trying to reform from within, however, he left.
Had he stayed, he would likely have been recognized as a saint.

There were many that did not join the Hitler Youth Corp... yes, they were severely punished and many died... he did join. Yes, He is aligned with Islam as well as JPII (he was pro Islam.)

Well... I'm not going to lie and say I don't think that every so often but I don't know what the future is going to be like for Cardinal Law. He'll be forever known as the cardinal who aided and abetted molesters.

Where are the facts to back up your claims that Ratzinger has aligned himself with islam?
