Habemus papam!

Urbi Et Orbi: Pope Benedict XVI greets Rome and the World

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has been chosen by his brother Cardinals. As Pope Benedict XVI, may he shepard the Church according to the lead of the Holy Spirit. Thanks be to God that such a loyal and faithful servant has been called to follow in the footsteps of Peter. We could not ask for a better man to solidify the legacy of John Paul the Great.

May the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI be fruitful. May the foolishness of God humble the wisdom of men through our Holy Father's work and our faithful response. May His Holiness bear witness to the Truth, which humbles the stupidity that the Reasonable call enlightenment. And may we Fools stand with him!
