Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope, and takes the name Benendict XVI.

The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers
In the joy of the resurrected Lord, we go on with his help. He is going to help us and Mary will be on our side. Thank you.
Sometime in the past, he had said (about his confidence in the Magisterium) . . .
“I can be obedient because it is my fundamental conviction that my intelligence is limited and the church is wiser.”
