They've chosen the new Pope.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, German, just turned 78. Ultra conservative, ultra orthodox.
His chosen papal name is Pope Benedict XVI. One time Hitler youth to boot... controversial yes, but I understand it was when he was 14, it was compulsory by law, and he wasn't too enthusiastic about it.
I'm not Catholic, but I figured he'd be the guy they chose.
Anyway. Lunch. Later!
