Our family couldn't be happier! God bless Pope Benedict XVI! I trust fully that the Holy Spirit led the Cardinals to their choice. It's just really exciting that they picked our favorite!
Did everyone see it live on tv? Wow, what a moment. History in the making. I wasn't born yet when John Paul II was elected.
I think my next book will be "Salt of the Earth," an interview given by Cardinal Ratzinger to a secular reporter. My husband has several of Ratzinger's books on our shelf, but I've heard this one recommended today as a good book to "get to know" our new Pope.
Habemus Papam!
