The new Pope
Pray for Pope Benedict XVI.
I worried that the lengthy illness of John Paul II would allow the cardinals to campaign for the throne, which is exactly what happened. Cardinal Ratzinger wanted the job, and that tells me that he probably should not be given that much power. I am wary of anyone who wants to lead.
Pray for Pope Benedict XVI.
As a Cardinal this man used John Paul II's death to tell Catholics and the Cardinals to go back to traditional beliefs. I worry that he will undo the progress of John Paul II made. I worry that he will do harm. He did not look humble on that balcony today, he looked victorious. HIs words of being an unworthy servant sounded empty. He wanted to be Pope.
