He's the right wing one. However he's 78 so should snuff it in a reasonable short time.
If the popes chose by God but it took 3 goes at voting does that mean that over 50% of the cardinals aren't in tune with him? Or does he just have a lisp or something so its hard to understand him?

I’ve also heard that although he's very conservative, he only joined the Hitler Youth when it became compulsory.

Did anyone really expect anything different? Whenever an organisation or group is under act, they retreat to what they know, they return to the foundation. Electing Ratzinger is not that much different from the US government going more conservative after the 9/11 attack. Catholicism has been battered over the last few years primarily through the child abuse scandals and I'm sure there is a certain amount of worry over the effect homosexuality might have on Catholicism, as it has had an effect on other religions. Electing a white guy who is almost certainly not going to be preaching contraceptive use and more rights for women is no surprise whatsoever given the circumstances.

If you were Benedict V, wouldn't that make you about 3,000 years old round about now? If so, good to see you keeping it real in the twilight years of your life.
