I am delighted that Cardinal Ratzinger was elected the new bishop of Rome today. The new German-born pope has taken the name Pope Benedict XVI.
Here are seven things to WATCH for in these exciting times:
1. Pope Benedict XVI will not allow ordination of women to the priesthood.
2. He will not reverse the discipline of celibacy for priests.
3. He will not "ease up on restrictions" against contraception, nor will he permit homosexual marriages.
4. He will defend the dignity of the human person -- of life.
5. He will not seek a one-world religion since he only believes in Catholicism. Even in a spirit of "let's all get along," he will insist that the Catholic Church alone is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
6. He will come under attack by religious and political liberals for promoting orthodox Christian teaching. Even more than now, the Church will be persecuted by many, but will grow in faith and fervor.
7. The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. Meanwhile, look for Pope Benedict XVI to write some awesome encyclicals!
