Well, this is a surprise: Pope Benedict is retiring this month. It's hard to believe he's been Pope for 8 years. I love the ceremony and tradition in choosing a new Pope and can't wait to see what happens next. The liberals must be going crazy, and I agree with The Anchoress, who says this:
"One more thought
before I put this post to rest — I’m kind of appalled at how some members of
the press are reacting to this. The announcement wasn’t two hours old when the
cable news gasbags started in with their 'wish list' and expressing hopes that
the next pope 'gets it right' on the 'important issues. A few sound like
they’re all but crossing a line through this pontificate with zero
understanding or appreciation of what it has actually been. And some of the
comments in the Facebook threads are just so…awful. People are so busy thinking
about their personal 'agenda' for the church — be it 'progressive' or 'Conservative' — that they’re not even taking a breath to consider that the man
and his pontificate will be more than a footnote to John Paul’s; they have no
idea what a force for Christian unity he has been in the midst of so much
division."
