BREAKING NEWS: We've Got a Pope
12:05 EST... The smoke color is inconclusive, but the bells leave no doubt. There's a new Pope in town. Molten Thought will keep you posted on the developments.
UPDATE:
As many had speculated and hoped, Joseph Ratzinger has ascended to the highest office in the Catholic Church, in the shortest Conclave decision in remembered history. Announcing himself as "a simple worker in the Lord's vineyard", Ratzinger introduced himself to the throng of cheering people in St. Peters Square and then blessed them in traditional prayer. Ratzinger has chosen the title "Pope Benedict the XVI".
A close advisor to John Paul II, Ratzinger presided over his funeral and was a visible force in the interim since the late Pope's death. Known for his conservative stance on marriage, divorce, abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and theology, Ratzinger stands to continue the legacy John Paul II began.
We can only hope. The eyes of the world are watching Benedict XVI, and here at MoltenThought our prayers are with him, the church, and the world. May he be the man of God the church so desperately needs.
