Habemus Papum

While not having a major opinion on the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the 265th Pope, I would like to recommend the New York Times for coverage of it. I think the NYTimes is an excellent newspaper and this is shown by their excellent interactive graphic which explains pretty much everything you need to know about the election of the of Pope Benedict XVI. It is well worth reading as I found it very useful having not paid very clost attention to the news coverage of it recently.

I hope he will be an excellent Pope and carry on what the late Pope John Paul II did. I suspect he will though, as he was John Paul's right hand man for a lot of things.
