So Ratzinger is elected as new Pope, and things in Rome will return to normal. I'm a bit confused at the choice of name though, the name Benedict suggests he will break with tradition - although this wouldn't be consistent with his apparently conservative reputation. Me, I'm a devout atheist, but surely on a day when India has now overtaken South Africa as the country with the highest number of people living with Aids it's about time the church (and I mean all of them) started talking about the real problems that face society.
