PAPAL UPDATE....Ah, we have a new pope. It's 78-year-old Joseph Ratzinger, who apparently will become Pope Benedict XVI.

From the Washington Post's profile of Ratzinger:

He wrote a letter of advice to U.S. bishops on denying communion to politicians who support abortion rights, which some observers viewed as a slam at Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry. He publicly cautioned Europe against admitting Turkey to the European Union and wrote a letter to bishops around the world justifying that stand on the grounds that the continent is essentially Christian in nature.

....Ratzinger was active in stamping out liberation theology, with its emphasis on grass-roots activism to fight poverty and its association with Marxist movements.

Stay tuned.
