| #16 I will call him PB4 squared. JK I liked the idea that they didn't change paths (theologically). Wonder if this will affect Germans like JPII affected Poles? |

| #14 Mine has the Pope's name on it, and who it is, as the headline - a bit more informative. Benedict is more the subject, his history, theology, and the reaction. This thread is all about the announcement and not much else apparently. Now I really have to get out the door. Fr Nguyen just gave me a call :-) |

| #10 St. Benedict's rule for monasticism is indeed a moderate one. It is communal rather than solitary, disciplined without the extremes of asceticism that characterized some monks before him and has a lot of common sense built into it. Interesting choice of name. |

| #9 An RC Commentator (on Fox) said that the choice of Benedict indicates he sees himself as a "moderate" - or so I gathered. |

| #3 If you can get to a TV - it's worth seeing. The people are ecstatic. They say it will be 45 minutes to 1 hour before the new Pope will appear on the balcony. |
