Your reaction: Pope Benedict XVI - Citizen Journalist - MSNBC.com: "In electing Ratzinger pope the cardinals have signaled that they are content to see the windows opened by John XXIII and the Vatican Council, closed by John Paul II, nailed shut by Benedict XVI. By their vote these Church leaders have agreed to let the number of priests continue to decline (there are 3000 Catholic Communities with no pastor in the US alone). They also confirm that the economic and environmental impact of their sanctions against birth control will continue, as will the spread of aides due to forbidding the use of contraceptives. By their election of Ratzinger the cardinals have shown blind eyes to the scientific facts about homosexuality. Benedict XVI will continue as pope what he has done for over 20 years, namely stomp out any dissent voiced by more than 50% of the faithful.
