Pope Benedict XVI
A new pope has been elected. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has been elected to succeed Pope John Paul II. Ratzinger was sort of a "front runner" for the position because he was a good friend and shared many views with the last pope. He is also only the second pope I have ever known, and it will be very weird to have something other than John Paul after that title. The first Benedict was pope in the late 6th century, while the last Benedict was pope during the First World War.
