**********************************

Apparently a new pope has been elected.

Smoke signals from the Vatican tell the world it is so.

There is, however, no news on who the new pope will be.

It's something I'm oddly fascinated by. I really would like to know who it is. I'd like to find out about the man who is going to shape the faith of so many people in the world. I only remember there being the one pope. Apparently the new pope should be presented to the people within 45 minutes.

Joseph Ratzinger, according to the BBC ticker.

In fact, Karolina has just linked to an article (bloody hell they're fast uploading this) - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4445279.stm

I just saw that. And my god! That is quick. I'm guessing they had all the articles pre-written before it was announced.

he's used to be a member of the Hitler Jugend.
Reason enough for me to never have my children baptised.
