Ratzinger is elected as new pope

this is NOT AT ALL good news...

[T]he BBC's William Horsley in Rome says his papacy is sure to continue John Paul II's strongly traditional interpretation of the Catholic faith, including opposition to abortion, homosexuality, priestly marriage and women priests.

yep, and THAT'S why he wanted the job... so much for any hope of the vatican getting the kink out of its knickers...
